Purpose and description of the content of education:
The aim of the education content is getting to know the basic concepts and computational methods in mathematics, in particular: 1) Systematisation of knowledge about sets, functions and their properties. 2) Learning the basics of matrix calculus and solving a system of linear equations Tasks for the expert performance: 1) useful transformations of rational and irrational expressions (e.g. calculating the distance between two points on the Earth), 2) simple matrix operations; 3) calculating the area of the plane, the length of the arc and the volume of the solid, using the appropriate integrals. and also use 1) properties of functions, especially exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric functions for solving basic problems 2) methods of differential calculus for determining the extremes of a function and examining its course.

Literature reading / analysis of source materials [a02] Preparation for classes
reading the literature indicated in the syllabus; reviewing, organizing, analyzing and selecting source materials to be used in class
Developing practical skills [a03] Preparation for classes
activities involving the repetition, refinement and consolidation of practical skills, including those developed during previous classes or new skills necessary for the implementation of subsequent elements of the curriculum (as preparation for class participation)
Studying the literature used in and the materials produced in class [c02] Preparation for verification of learning outcomes
exploring the studied content, inquiring, considering, assimilating, interpreting it, or organizing knowledge obtained from the literature, documentation, instructions, scenarios, etc., used in class as well as from the notes or other materials/artifacts made in class
Undertaking, on one’s own initiative and individually, activities aimed at expanding the scope or depth of the teaching content, also beyond the walls of the University [e01] Activities complementary to the classes
a set of activities undertaken independently and on the student's own initiative, aimed at expanding the depth and scope of knowledge and skills, their revision and repetition, retention or verification, also activities carried outside the university, e.g., in a culture promoting or educational institution, a laboratory, in the open air, etc.; also self-education
