Objectives and competences

Students acquire the basic knowledge of set theory, mathematical logic, mappings, sets of numbers, sequences and series, real functions, differentiable calculus and integration.
They will have a very good understanding and the ability to use elementary functions. They will acquire the basic skills needed in the mathematical analysis.

Intended learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding:
Knowing and understanding the basic concepts needed in the mathematical analysis. Using the obtained knowledge in physics.

Application:
Mastering the basic concepts of mathematical analysis is needed in almost all fields of physics.

Reflection:
Combining theory and computational procedures to solve the simplest mathematical problems in physics.

Transferable skills:
The ability of a correct formulation of a problem, selecting the appropriate method, solving problems independently, the ability to analyze the results obtained.

Learning and teaching methods

Lectures, exercises, homeworks, consultations, extra hours of studying with the help of teaching assistants and tutors, virtual classroom (chatrooms, forums, etc.)

Assessment

Written exam or 4 midterm exams instead of the written exam
oral exam or theoretical test
Homework (optional)
grading: 5 (fail), 6-10 (pass) (according to the Statute of UL)
