Learning Outcomes
The student becomes familiarized with matrices, vectors and complex numbers. At the end of the course the student knows the rules of calculation of determinants and matrices, and she is able to apply them, for instance, in the solution of linear systems of equations. The student is able to apply vectors for the solution of simple geometrical problems. The trigonometric functions are re-defined by means of the concept of unit circle. The student knows the most central properties of the trigonometric functions, and she is able to solve trigonometric equations. In addition, the student learns the basics of complex numbers.
Student's Workload
The total amount of student's work is 81 h, which contains 42 h of contact studies.
Prerequisites / Recommended Optional Courses
