Learning outcomes
In parallel to the obligatory course of Mathematics 1, the course is designed to the students having some gaps in their high school mathematics knowledge. It is targeted to improve the technical difficulties appearing among the students of all study programs in EF SBU in the first semester of their study.
The student will understand the basic concepts and use basic algorithms of linear algebra and theory of functions.
Prerequisites
The course has no prerequisities.

Assessment methods and criteria
Student performance assessment
