Summary
The contents of the course is the introduction of common mathematical concepts and interpretation of their relations in connection to the methods of solving selected problems of three basic parts of mathematics, according to which the learning material is structured. In Differential Calculus, the main motive is the preparation to general use of derivatives of real functions of one variable. Under Linear algebra is an emphasis on interpretation of the basic methods for solving systems of linear equations. In Analytic geometry, there are, based on vector calculus, described basic linear formations of three-dimensional Euclidean space and some tools to evaluate their mutual position from qualitative and also quantitative point of view.
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 toanalyze 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. Real function of one real variable. Operations with functions. (Basic) elementary functions.
2. Properties of functions - intersections with axes, sign of function, boundary, monotonicity, extremes, convexity, concavity, parity, simplicity, invertibility, periodicity.
3. Limit of a function, limit theorems, asmyptotes to a function graph.
4. Continuity and discontinuity of function.
5. Derivative of function - geometric and physical meaning. Derivative of basic elementary functions. Differentiation rules. Derivatives of higher orders.
6. Use of derivatives - L'Hospital rule, basic theorems of differential calculus, analysis of the course of a function.
7. Function differential, Taylor polynomial.
8. Arithmetic vector space. Linear independence vectors.
9. Matrices - types, special matrices, operations.
10. Determinant. Inverse matrix. Rank.
11. Systems of linear equations. Frobenius theorem. Gaussian elimination method. Cramer rule.
12. Line and plane in Euclidean space. Scalar, vector and mixed product of vectors.
