Objectives and competences

Students will acquire knowledge about elementary topological property of the space Rn, trigonometric series and their convergence, functions of several variables, differentiability, curves and surfaces in R3, multiple integrals, vector analysis, and some first and second order diferential equations.The students will be able to use the acquired knowledge at posing and resolving problems that appears in practics, such as, mechanics, environment sciences, and economics.

Intended learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding:
Knowledge and understanding of the basic concepts of differential calculus, integration, vector analysis and analytic functions.
Capacity to implement developed methods in geometry and natural sciences.

Application:
Mathematics 2 is one of the basic subjects necessary to understand mechanics and other subjects of natural, technical and social sciences. Knowledge is necessary in modelling of almost all systems.

Reflection:
Integrating theory and practical applications in solving problems.

Transferable skills:
Posing a problem, selection of a method and its application in solving the problem. Analysis of the results from the cases. Skills in using literature. Knowledge is transmitted to virtually all sciences.

Learning and teaching methods

Lectures, exercises, homeworks, consultations

Assessment
