2.3. Derivative (Function analysis. Differential)
2.4. Integral (Definite and indefinite integral. Application of definite integral)
2.5. Application of computer programs for symbolic and numerical computations
Learning and teaching methods
• Lectures
• Problem solving, exercises with professor/assistant explanation
• Independent solving of short problems by students
• e-learning
Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes
Students will:
• be able to understand and use basic quantitative methods from the field of linear algebra and analysis,
• be able to use computer tools for symbolic and numerical computations to solve real problems within organizations..
