Synopsis:

The course is introduction to differential calculus and linear algebra.

Differential calculus - sets of numbers, sequences of real numbers, real functions (function properties, limits, continuity and derivative of a function investigation of function behavior), Taylor's formula, real number series.

Linear algebra - vector spaces, matrices and determinants, systems of linear algebraic equations (solvability and solution), eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices, applications.

Requirements:

The form of the method of verification of study results and other requirements for the student

A - Compulsory participation in exercises, absences must be duly excused in advance and subsequently documented, e.g. medication. confirmation. Depending on the situation, they are either replaced in the exercises in the same week, or in the form of extraordinary tasks, which the student properly prepares and submits to his teacher on the agreed date.

Attendance at lectures is not compulsory, however, if the student does not attend the lecture, he is obliged to supplement the material covered by self-study and must come prepared to the exercises.

B - Knowledge in the scope of individual topics of the lectures is checked by two half-semester tests, which students take at the same time in the middle and at the end of the semester according to the subject teaching schedule for the given academic year. Calculators with a certificate for the DT matriculation exam in mathematics (i.e. non-programmable, without integrals and solving equations) and a list of formulas that will be part of the test are allowed during the tests.

The condition for granting credit is the fulfillment of point A and the gain of at least 50% points from each half-semester test (each test max. 50 points, the minimum is 25 points).

A condition for admission to the exam is a credit registered in KOS. The exam is written only, lasts 120 minutes, calculators and lists of formulas are allowed, the same as for the half-semester tests. The exam mainly contains numerical examples supplemented by theoretical sub-questions in the scope of the material covered. Points from both half-semester tests will be added to the exam test score (75 points) as follows: score above the mandatory 50% divided by 2. The total number of points is therefore 100.

Course grading: A: 100-90, B: 89-80, C: 79-70, D: 69-60, E: 59-50, F: less than 50.
