COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course objectives

Student are introduced to the ideas and methods of approximate solving algebraic and differential equations, interpolation and numerical integration, to concepts of the theory of probability and statistics and their application to particular example and tasks.
By developing a positive attitude toward learning, responsibility for own success and progress, and the acquisition of competencies described above, the students are expected to build a solid foundation for lifelong learning and further education.

Course enrolment requirements and entry competences required for the course

 

Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course (4 to 10 learning outcomes)

After the passing the exam, students will be able to:
- use appropriate language, symbolic notation and graphic representation to describe the ideas and methods for numerical solving equations;
- apply the methods described above in the particular tasks;
- describe the concept and define the notions of probability theory;
- understand the concepts and apply the methods described above in real situations;
- define discrete and continuous random variables and their characteristics;
- properly interpret characteristics of random variables on particular examples;
- describe examples of important distribution and identify conditions for their use in problem solving;
- describe the concept and define the notions of statistics theory;
- use a computer and appropriate software as a tool in the statistical data processing;
- understand the process of statistical testing and parametric and non-parametric sample testing

Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam

The first method: Engagement during semester 20% (E), written exam 40% (W) and oral exam 40% (O). During the semester, student can do additional task, write a seminar paper and express own knowledge through activities in class. The final score: z = 0.2(E) + 0.4(W) + 0.4(O).
The second method: written exam 500% and oral exam 50%; final: z = 0.5(W) + 0.5(O).

Quality assurance methods that ensure the acquisition of exit competences

Quality assurance will be performed at three levels:
(1) University Level;
(2) Faculty Level by Quality Control Committee;
(3) Lecturer???s Level.
