Course objectives
At the end of the course student should be more deeply acquitanted with questions and topics from the areas of mathematics that are included in the high-school mathematics program. After passing the course, students should be able to understand presented topics, to teach them in secondary schools especially when preparing talented, mathematically gifted pupils.
