Course objectives
The content is the differential and integral calculus of functions of one real variable together with basic notions concerning vectors, matrices, determinants, and systems of algebraic equations. Students will understand theoretical and practical methods of differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable and will able to apply these methods to concrete problems.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course students will be able to:
solve systems of algebraic equations using matrices and determinants;
define and interpret the basic notions from the calculus of functions of one real variable;
analyse problems from the topics of the course;
understand to theoretical and practical methods of calculus of functions of one variable;
apply the methods of calculus to concrete problems.
