Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Demonstration
  • Class attendance - 8 hours per semester
  • Preparation for classes - 16 hours per semester
  • Preparation for credit - 8 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
To survey and repeat basic undergraduate calculus.
This subject should help those students who did not pass through high level secondary school mathematics and/or did not pass a final secondary school exam from mathematics.
Prerequisites
We assume knowledge of basic mathematical operations with algebraic expressions, scalar functions and their graphs. We will focus mainly on repetition and practical calculation skills of secondary school mathematical subjects.

Assessment methods and criteria
Test

Active participation to excercises and active attempts to solve homeworks during the semester. To pass through the final writting test and reach at least 50% points.
