Learning outcomes of the course unit
The knowledge and skills will appear on the following fields
1. Students will manage successfully a work with matrices.
2. Students will be endowed with the knowledge of elementary functions and their properties. Students are expected to manage the concept of a limit and derivative and comprehend their meaning.They master their computation applying basic rules including the L´Hospital rule. Students will also be able to investgate the course of a function of one variable.
3. Students will be endowed with the knowledge of the indefinite and definite integral including the improper integral. They learn the basic methods of integral computations and be aquaitanced with the basic applications.
4. Students will be acquainted with the elementary commands of MATLAB and will be able to apply them for computations.
5. Students obtain the ability of solving simple tasks of the physical character and tasks occuring in the advanced courses.
Prerequisites
Elementary knowledge of mathematics on the level of the secondary school. Linear and quadratic equations, inequalities, elements of the geometry of lines and planes.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course uses teaching methods in form of Lecture - 2 teaching hours per week, seminars - 2 teaching hours per week, computer support - 1 teaching hour per week. The e-learning system (LMS Moodle) is available to teachers and students.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Students must first obtain the credit from seminars. Compulsory attendance at seminars. In the exercises are included 2 tests (each at most 10 points) and a test from the computer support (5 points). In total the exercises can receive a maximum of 25 points. A student has to obtain at least 5 points from each test and at least 2 points from the computer support. (Students are allowed to undergo corrective control work. Evaluation of corrective labor inspection is final.)
The exam is written.

Aims
The aim of the course is making acquitance with the basic concepts of mathematics necessary for managing the following courses of physics, chemistry and engineering disciplines. Another claim is obtaining the basic principles of mathematical thinking and skills and applying them in the above mentioned courses.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
The compulsory attendance at seminars. In the exercises are included 2 tests (each at most 10 points) and a test from the computer support (5 points). In total the exercises can receive a maximum of 25 points. A student has to obtain at least 5 points from each test and 2 points from the thest from the computer support.
