Knowledge
Students are supposed to understand elementary theory of linear space (linear space of matrixes, etc.) as well as vectors and matrix algebra. They will be ready to solve systems of linear algebraic equations. The main objective is to develop basic skills in computing and to show various techniques for solving problems: find the tangent line of graph real function at a given point, solve extremal problems of function or tasks of integral calculus, e.g. calculation of areas.
Skills
Apply the theoretical knowledge of mathematics to a wider application in various specialization areas.
