Student learns the basic concepts of mathematical analysis such as limit, continuity,
derivative and integral of real functions of one
real variable, numerical and function series, and continuity and differentiation of real functions of several real variables. Mathematics 1 is one of the
fundamental courses of the study of physics.

Knowledge and understanding: Knowledge and understanding of basic notions, definitions and theorems.

Application: Mathematics 1 is one of the fundamental courses of the study of physics. Understanding the material of this course is indispensable for many other mathematics and physics courses of the program and for solving problems in physics.

Reflection: Understanding the theory from
the applications.

Transferable skills: Skills in using the literature and other sources, the ability to identify and solve the problem, critical analysis.
