Course detail

Mathematics 1

FP-ma1PAcad. year: 2025/2026

The subject is part of the theoretical basis of the field. Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course is to unify and supplement the students' knowledge in the areas of further teaching of basic mathematical concepts and to teach students the comprehension of using the linear algebra system to solve the linear equations and the differential functions of one variable (including basic applications in economic disciplines).

Entry knowledge

Knowledge of secondary-school mathematics.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Requirements for awarding credit:

Passing control tests and achieving at least 55% of points or completing a comprehensive written paper and achieving at least 55% of points.
Awarding credit is a necessary condition for taking the exam.

Exam requirements:

The exam is written.

For all tasks in the written part, a calculation must be written, or the procedure must be described, or the result must be justified verbally. The examples are divided into thematic groups. If the student does not achieve at least 50% of the total number of achievable points in each thematic group of examples, the written part and the entire exam are evaluated with a grade of "F" (unsatisfactory) and the student does not proceed to the oral part.

If the student does not achieve at least 50% of the total number of achievable points in the written paper, the written part and the entire exam are evaluated with a grade of "F" (unsatisfactory).

Completion of the course for students with individual study:
Passing the comprehensive control test and achieving at least 55% of points.
Awarding credit is a necessary condition for taking the exam.
The exam is written.
For all tasks in the written part, a calculation must be written, or the procedure described, or the result must be justified verbally. The examples are divided into thematic groups. If the student does not achieve at least 50% of the total number of achievable points in each thematic group of examples, the written part and the entire exam are graded "F" (unsatisfactory).
If the student does not achieve at least 50% of the total number of achievable points in the written work, the written part and the entire exam are graded "F".

Participation in seminars is checked.

Aims

Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course is to solve systems of linear equations and detailed analysis of the processes described by the real function of one real variable, including the realization of necessary calculations in general and in economic applications (also with respect to the use of computing).
The acquired knowledge and practical mathematical skills will in particular serve as a basis for acquiring knowledge and disseminating skills in economically oriented fields and for the correct use of mathematical software, and will be an important starting point for learning new knowledge in math mathematical subjects.
