Department

Institute of Mathematics and Descriptive Geometry (MAT)

Entry knowledge

Basics of the theory of one-functions(limit, continuous functions, graphs of functions, derivative, sketching the graph of a function).
Formulas used to calculate indefinite and definite integrals, and the basic integration methods.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.

Aims

After the course, the students should understand the principles of integration of some more sophisticated elementary functions, some of the applications of teh definite integral.
They should acquaint themselves with the basics of calculus of two- and more-functions, including partial derivatives, implicit functions, understand the geometric interpretation of the total differential. Learn how to find local and glogal minima and maxima of two-functions, calculate directional derivatives.
Students will known methods of solving undefinite and definite integrals and will be able to use methods successfully to important applied problems. Except this students will understand basic calculus of functions of several variables and its application to analysis of behavior of functions in three-dimenesional space.
