Course objectives
The course is designed to refresh the most important topics of high-school mathematics, and its aim is to build students’ confidence and the mathematical skills necessary for success in the course BPM_MTHA: Mathematics.
Learning outcomes
After passing the course, students will be able to demonstrate necessary fundamental mathematical skills, namely:
- Apply standard mathematical laws, definitions and procedures involving: simplifying of algebraical expressions; expansion and factorization
- Solve polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic equations and inequalities
- Identify the domain, range, and graph of elementary functions
- Calculate the composition and inverse of functions
- Be familiar with necessary mathematical notation and symbols

Assessment methods
The course is ended by a final written test and there is also a mid-term test. Students have to achieve at least 50% of the maximum score to pass the course. Erasmus students have the same conditions. Any copying, recording or taking out the tests, use of unauthorized devices and means of communication or other distortions of test objectivity will be considered a failure in the course and a gross violation of study regulations. Consequently, the teacher closes the test (credit) score in IS by grade "F" and Dean initiates disciplinary proceedings.
