Course completion requirements -

The course credit is awarded at practicals after passing three brief (60 min.) tests. The first test will cover Topic 1) of the Syllabus, the second test will cover Topic 2), and the third test will include problems from Topics 3) and 4). The dates of the tests will be announced during the practicals. To pass a test, a student must obtain at least 50% of the total points available for that test.

After getting the course credit at practicals, students can attend the final exams. These exams consist of written and oral parts, and they take place during the examination period. The written part (60 min.) comprises solving 2 practical examples from topics 1)-4). The oral part (60 min.) is a discussion of theoretical concepts (definitions and theorems from lectures) related to the examples in the written part.

Literature -
  • Lecture notes and materials for practicals.

  • G. Strang, Introduction to Linear Algebra, Fifth Edition (2016).

  • J. Callahan, K. Hoffman, D. Cox, D. O’Shea, H. Pollatsek, L. Senechal: Calculus in Context, Five Colleges, Inc., 2008.

  • The most suitable literature for preparing yourself efficiently for exams and tests are notes taken at lectures and practicals. In addition, there exists a course page on Moodle:

https://dl1.cuni.cz/course/view.php?id=16205

Here, after logging in with your SIS/CAS credentials, you can read/download supporting study materials: PDF documents with lecture notes and examples from practicals. The documents will be regularly updated during the semester.

Syllabus -

The course covers four topics:

1) Linear algebra: Linear vector spaces. Matrices and determinants, systems of linear equations, Gaussian elimination. Bilinear and quadratic forms, positive and negative definiteness.

2) Basic theory of functions of several variables: metric, limits, continuity. Partial derivatives and total differential, operators grad, div, rot. Multidimensional integral. Exchange of limits and integrals, derivatives and integrals.

3) Series: Number series, convergence and divergence, absolute and non-absolute convergence, Taylor series.

4) Ordinary differential equations and their systems: basic methods, Bernoulli and Euler equations, equations in the form of total differential, solving equations using series.

Learning outcomes -

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

1) Linear Algebra

Explain the fundamental concepts of linear vector spaces and their properties.

Work with matrices and determinants and solve systems of linear equations using Gaussian elimination.

Compute partial derivatives and total differentials and use differential operators such as gradient, divergence, and rotation.

Evaluate multidimensional integrals and justify the exchange of limits and integrals, as well as derivatives and integrals, under appropriate conditions.

3) Series

Analyze numerical series with respect to convergence and divergence.

Distinguish between absolute and non-absolute convergence.

Construct and apply Taylor series for functions.

4) Ordinary Differential Equations

Solve ordinary differential equations and systems of ordinary differential equations using standard analytical methods.
