Summary
The subject is divided into four chapters.

In the first chapter we study real functions of one real variable and their properties, in the second chapter we introduce the notion of derivative and study its properties and applications.

In the third chapter we introduce Gauss elimination method for solution of systems of linear algebraic equations. In the last chapter we apply it to the geometric problems in three-dimensional Euclidean space.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Mathematics is an essential part of the engineering programmes. Nevertheless, it is not a a goal on its own, but rather a necessary tool for understanding the technical subjects.
Therefore, we aim to both introducing the basic mathematical concepts and deepen the logical and analytical thinking of our students.
Course Contents
1. Functions of one real variable (definitions and basic properties).
2. Elementary functions. Parametric and implicit functions.
3. Limit of the function, continuous functions. Definition of the derivative.
4-5. Differential calculus functions of one real variable. Derivative (basic rules for differentiation). Parametric differentiation, higher-order derivatives.
6-8. Applications of the derivatives. Tangent line, Taylor polynomial, extremes of a function. Behaviour of the graph. Monotonic functions. Convex and concave functions. Inverse functions. Computation of limits by l'Hospital rule. Asymptotes.
9. Systems of linear equations, Gaussian elimination
10. Matrices, rank of a matrix. Matrix inversion
11. Determinant, its computation and properties. Cramer rule.
12. Analytic geometry in Euclidean space. Dot product and cross product
13. Line and plane in 3D-Euclidean space.
14. Mutual positions and metric properties of subspaces in 3D-Euclidean space.
