Qualification Goals
Technical skills: The students
- are able to master basic principles of linear and algebraic structures and apply them to simple mathematical questions,
- acquire the basic mathematical knowledge, which is the basis for the entire course of study.
Soft skills: The students should
- practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of abstraction, understanding of the strict axiomatic structure of mathematical areas on a (comparatively) simple structure),
- improve their oral communication skills in the recitation class by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
Prerequisites
