Learning outcomes
To follow up with the previous mathematical and mathematic-economical courses and acquaint the students with the topics of mathematical sets and logic, graphs theory and numerical methods with the view to economics and informatics.
Students will be able to solve basic as well as follow-up applied problems in the area of mathematical sets, logic, theory of graphs and numerical methods by the use of EXCEL programming environment.
Prerequisites
Basic mathematical knowns and skills of the mathematics of the middle schools, subjests PMT1 and PMT2 of bachelor study and EXCEL programing language.

Assessment methods and criteria
Home assignment evaluation, Student performance assessment, Work-related product analysis, Systematic monitoring

Assignment - two successful written exams and six semestr projects.
