Summary
The functions of one real variable, the derivation of a
function of one variable. Derivations of higher orders. Investigating the
behaviour of functions. Antiderivative and the indefinite integral, some
properties, elementary methods of integration. Linear algebra: Arithmetic
vectors, matrices, determinants, systems of linear algebraic equations.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
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.

Course Contents
1 Functions of one real variable (definitions and basic properties)
2 Elementary functions
3 Limit of the function, continuity of the functions.
4 Differential calculus functions of one real variable. Geometrical and physical meaning, basic rules for differentiation.
5 Derivatives of selected functions
6 Differential of the function, parametric differentiation, highes-order derivative, L´Hospital´s rule.
7 Applications of the derivatives. Monotonic functions and extremes of a function, convexity and concavity of a function.
8 Asymptotes, constructing graphs.
9 Linear algebra. Arithmetic vectors, linear dependence and linear independence of vectors. Matrix (basic properties), rank of a matrix.
10 Determinants. Basic properties, calculation, evaluation.
11 System of linear equations, Cramer’s rule, Gaussian elimination algorithm. Matrix inversion.
