Learning outcomes
It is the first part of the course of Engineering Mathematics. It is targeted at the fundamentals of linear algebra, the theory of functions, sequences and infinite series. Applications in economics are emphasised. The course is presented in English.
The student will understand the basic concepts of linear algebra, the theory of functions, sequences and infinite series. He/she will use the basic algorithms of linear algebra, work with elementary functions, evaluate the limits of sequences and the convergence of infinite series. The students will fulfill all their duties in English.
