COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course objectives

To introduce students to the basic elements of calculus and linear algebra.

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 finishing this course the student is expected to be able to:
- identify and sketch graphs of elementary functions, to determine the domain of the given function
- find the derivative of the given function
- apply the dervative in practice (tangents and normals, maximum, minimum and inflection points) and to interpret the shape of graphs
- apply the techniques of integration (integration by substitution, integration by parts)
- use the definite integral in its geometrical applications
- solve the system of linear equations (by matrix inversion, by Gaussian elimination)

1. Sets: Notion. Algebra of sets. Sets of numbers.
2. Functions: Notion. Composite functions. Inverse function.
3. Elementary functions.

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

Examination: either by continuously checking and grading students’ progress during the semester or in exam terms by passing written and oral exam.
At the beginning of the course students will be informed of in detail elaborated rules for both models of examination.

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.
