- Course objectives
- The second basic introductory course of the Mathematics block of the programme. The five courses aim at the development of basic skills and knowledge in all four main approaches: algebraic, geometric, combinatorial, and infinitesimal, as well as the ability to enjoy computer-assisted solutions to problems. This course focuses on elementary infinitesimal concepts and tools.
- Learning outcomes
- understanding basic features of the real line and complex plane and convergence of values;
sound application of linear algebra concepts in infinitesimal analysis;
computer-assisted approach to simple continuous modelling, numerical methods, and approximations - Syllabus
- polynomial interpolation (1 week);
topology of the real line and the complex plane, convergence, spaces of elementary functions, and power series (3 weeks);
elements of differential and integral calculus in 1D, including numerical aspects (5 weeks);
Fourier series and Fourier transform in 1D (4 weeks)
- polynomial interpolation (1 week);
- Literature
- Jan Slovák et al, Brisk Guide to Mathematics, www.math.muni.cz/~slovak/BG.pdf, Chapters 5-7
- Ioannis Chrysikos et al, Script Project in Sage, available online, in preparation
- Teaching methods
- essentially asynchronous approach, based on introductory short presentations plus homework assignments, complete pdf materials, and Sage/Matlab supported tutorials;
complemented by synchronous communication with the tutor upon agreement - Assessment methods
- weekly homework assignments during the semester, including peer to peer reviews;
active presentation of some homeworks to the lecturer/tutor;
one short synchronously written assignments during the term;
one final synchronously written assignment, followed by colloquial discussions/exams in small groups - Language of instruction
- English

The full information on study aid is collected in the interactive syllabi of the course, see https://is.muni.cz/auth/el/sci/podzim2024/MDA101/index.qwarp -- the study aid is dynamically completed during the semester, following the needs and feedback of the students, it is mainly based on texts, videos, home work assignements, code illustrative examples etc.
