Summary
This subject contains the following themes:

- more-variable functions, extremes
- function spaces
- functionals and their extremes
- applications
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
After completing the course the student will be able to work with more-variable real functions. He will be able to find extremes of such functions. In addition, the student will be able to calculate the derivative of functionals and also seek their extremes.
