Calculus 1

• 26 hrs lectures
• 26 hrs exercises

• 80 pts final exam
• 20 pts numeric exercises

The main goal of the course is to explain the basic principles and methods of calculus. The emphasis ismput on handling the practical use of these methods for solving specific tasks and the ability to understand the basic problems of calculus and use derivatives and integrals for solving specific problems.

Problems discussed at numerical classes are chosen so as to complement suitably the lectures.

Written tests during the semester (maximum 20 points). Classes are compulsory. Presence at lectures will not be controlled, absence at numerical classes has to be excused.
