After completing the course the student

• knows how to solve inequalities and equations with absolute value
• identifies the concepts of vector algebra
• can use vector algebra for solving the problems of analytic geometry
• can explain basic characteristics of elementary functions
• can analyze the limit and the continuity of the real valued functions of one variable
• can analyze the local minima and maxima of a function
• knows how to find the derivative for a function given with parametric representation

• knows the connection between the integral and area
• knows integral techniques such as integration by parts, a substitution method and a partial fraction composition
• can solve problems associated with the differential and integral calculus of the real valued functions of one variable.

Face to face teaching, course material is in Moodle learning environment. Lectures 28 h / Group work 22 h / Self-study 85 h

The course is completed with mid-term exams or a final exam. When completed with mid-term exams, exercise assignments are part of the continuous assessment. The assessment of the course is based on the learning outcomes of the course.
