Credit is a necessary and sufficient condition for taking the exam.

Credit exams practical knowledge and skills (numerical procedures, derivation, proving).

A prerequisite for obtaining credit is passing written test (one regular and two correction terms).

Another condition for granting the credit is participation in exercises (max. three absences; activity fulfilled by mastering specific tasks).

Last update: RNDr. Martina Škorpilová, Ph.D. (14.09.2023)

The exam verifies theoretical knowledge (definitions, theorems), understanding mathematical derivation and proofs, formulation skills (using mathematical symbolism).

Credit is a necessary condition for taking the exam.

The structure of the exam (five questions):

1. definition and examples of defined term (2 points),

2. definitions and examples of defined term (3 points),

3. theorem (2 points),

4. simple proof of the given sentence (3 points) ,

5. more difficult proof of the sentence (5 points).

The exam is written (approximaly 60 minutes), it is necessary to obtain at least 9 points (out of maximum 15 points).

The grade is determined by the points obtained for examination: 9-11 (Good), 12-13 (Very Good), 14-15 (Excellent).
