Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will be made familiar with algebraic operations,linear algebra, vector and Euclidean spaces, and analytic geometry. They will be able to work with matrix operations, solve systems of linear equations and apply the methods of linear algebra to analytic geometry and engineering tasks. When completing the course, the students will be prepared for further study of mathematical and technical disciplines.
Prerequisites
Students are expected to have basic knowledge of secondary school mathematics.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Course-unit credit requirements: Active attendance at the seminars, at least 50% of points in written tests. There is one alternative date to correct these tests.
Form of examinations: The exam is written and has two parts.
The exercises part takes 100 minutes and 6 exercises are given to solve.
The theoretical part takes 20 minutes and 6 questions are asked.
At least 50% of the correct results must be obtained from each part. If less is met in one of the parts, then the classification is F (failed).
Exercises are evaluated by 3 points, questions by 1 point.
If 50% of each part is met, the total classification is given by the sum.
A (excellent): 22 – 24 points
B (very good): 20 – 21 points
C (good): 17 – 19 points
D (satisfactory): 15 – 16 points
E (enough): 12 – 14 points
F (failed): 0 – 11 points
Aims
The course aims to acquaint the students with the basics of algebraic operations, linear algebra, vector and Euclidean spaces, and analytic geometry. This will enable them to attend further mathematical and engineering courses and deal with engineering problems. Another goal of the course is to develop the students' logical
thinking.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance at lectures is recommended, attendance at seminars is required. The lessons are planned on the basis of a weekly schedule. The way of compensation for an absence is in the competence of the teacher.
