Course description:

Objective of the course:

• Introduce students to matrix calculus, solving systems of linear equations, analysis of the function of two variables, double integrals and first and second order differential equations.

Learning outcomes:

After the completion of the course the students will be able to:

1. Perform basic algebraic operations with matrices and determine the inverse of a regular matrix.
2. Solve a system of linear equations by the Gauss-Jordan method.
3. Examine the convergence of an order of numbers or an order of functions and apply the Taylor order in calculating the values of an elementary function without the use of a
   calculator.
4. Determine the natural domain and partial derivatives of the function of two variables.
5. Calculate the gradient and differential of the function of two variables at a given point.
6. Look for local extremes of the function of two variables.
7. Define the area of integration of the double integral.
8. Calculate a simpler double integral in rectangular or polar coordinates.
