Learning outcomes of the course unit

Knowledge, abilities and competence of students is expected to be seen in following areas:
a) calculation of limits, differentials and integrals of real functions of one real variable
b) finding course of a real function of one real variable
c) understanding importance of limits, differentials, indefinite and definite integral
d) knowledge of basic applications of calculus
e) knowledge of basic commands of suitable mathematical software and ability to use it for calculations
f) solving simple physics and chemistry related tasks found in specialized courses

Prerequisites

Knowledge of mathematics at the secondary school level is assumed.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Theoretical knowledge, examples of solutions and applications of tasks are presented in lectures. Seminars are used to practise selected tasks and their applications. Students can study from recommended literature, which will be available in LMS Moodle.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Students take two tests during the semester. During both tests computer with suitable mathematical software is available. Students can gain up to 15 points from each test. The condition for recognizing both tests is to get at least 8 points from each of them. As long as students have satisfactory result on both tests and do not have an unexcused absence they will able to take final exam. If any of the tests is unsatisfactory and it is not retaken during the semester, student has to retake this test. Finally, each student has to take an exam. This exam has written part (for up to 50 points) and oral part (for up to 20 points). Classification is made using ECTS scale.
