Teaching results

The aim of the course is to consolidate and supplement the student's knowledge of high school mathematics. The student will repeat the curriculum, which in terms of content corresponds to the requirements for entrance exams in mathematics and complement his knowledge with the missing knowledge. After completing the course, he will be able to solve simpler and more complex tasks that he will encounter during his further study, both on quantitatively oriented subjects and on other subjects with the economic focus.
Knowledge:
On the given subject the student repeats the curriculum from a high school and completes the missing knowledge from selected areas of mathematics. The student will be able to work with the algebraic expressions, to define different types of equations and inequalities such as quadratic, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric equations and inequalities and he will know the various types of their solutions, he will master the basic terms and definitions of combinatorics and the principles of solving problems in this area and he will know the important concepts and definitions concerning the real functions.
Skills:
The student will be able to solve basic and advanced problems in arithmetic and elementary algebra, to work with the expressions, polynomials, combination numbers and factorials. The student will be able to solve basic types of equations and inequalities such as quadratic, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric equations and inequalities. The student will master the basics terms of combinatorics and the principles of solving problems in the field and he will be able to use it in a real situation. He will be able to determine the domain of a function, examine the basic properties of a function and sketch its graph.
Competences:
After completing the course, the student is able to solve simpler and more complex problems in mathematics, he can work with numbers, expressions and functions, to solve the equations with one or more variables and he is ready to apply his knowledge to real quantitative problems that he will encounter in further study. Knowledge acquired in this course represent the basis for successful completion of many subjects of either quantitative and economic focus.
