Aim:
The aim of the course is to give a foundation in mathematics that is suitable for further university studies in mathematics. After completing the course the student should be able to
- perform algebraic calulations with real and complex numbers
- solve equations and inequalities
- apply the concept of function and perform examinations of functions
- apply the concept of derivative
- perform calculations using trigonometric formulas
- calculate the anti-derivative and calculate integrals with applications
- solve differential equations
