Learning outcomes
The aim of the course to introduce basic mathematical skills to students. Emphasis is placed especially on understanding the main ideas of mathematical methods and the ability of students to apply the methods.
After completing the course, the student demonstrates knowledge of the differential, integral calculus of functions of one and two variables. Can apply mathematical methods to explain, describe and characterize various situations requiring grasp by mathematical tools.
Prerequisites
Standard knowledge and calculus skills in high school mathematics at a level that allows direct continuity of differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable.

Assessment methods and criteria
Written examination, Work-related product analysis, Didactic test

At least 80% active participation in exercises and passing the credit test in Moodle. A maximum of 3 absences can be replaced by elaboration of a semester work. Recurring student can choose either a 80% participation and recognition test from last year, or at least 50% attendance and a new credit test. The course is completed by written exam, at least 50% of success is required. Classification E 50 % - 55 %, D 56 % - 62 %, C 63 % - 69 %, B 70 % - 76 %, A more than 77 %. An oral form of the exam is optional, upon a student's request.
