Course objectives supported by learning outcomes
The aim of the course is the complemention of mathematical knowledge to the required level needed for MAT_1 course. After the successful completion of the course, the student is able to modify algebraic expressions, working with compound fractions and exponential expressions. The student will be able to solve equations and inequalities with absolute value, solve irrational equations, quadratic equations, systems of linear equations, exponential and logarithmic equations. The student can work with logarithms, he/she knows trigonometric functions and their properties, trigonometric equations, linear fractional functions, the inverse, polynomial functions and their properties. The student is able to depict graphs of all elementary functions and their modifications. The student also understands the concept of function limits, derivative, derivative product, share and compound function, geometric derivative, derivative importance for determining the properties of functions. Everything is at the level of the secondary school knowledge.
