Course aims

Mathematics is essential part of education on technical universities. It should
be considered rather the method in the study of technical courses than a goal.
Thus the goal of mathematics is train logical reasoning than mere list of
mathematical notions, algorithms and methods. Students should learn how to
analyze problems, distinguish between important and unimportant, suggest a
method of solution, verify each step of a method, generalize achieved results,
analyze correctness of achieved results with respect to given conditions, apply
these methods while solving technical problems, understand that mathematical
methods and theoretical advancements outreach the field mathematics.
