Description

Students are familiarised with and grasp the concepts of mathematical analysis and probability calculus, they learn to think, write and express themselves accurately and they gain the ability to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice in logistics.

Goal: critically thinking and use theoretical knowledge in concrete cases, and find solutions to problems and their realization in the field of logistics.

Instructors

red. prof. dr. MAJA FOŠNER

Contents

Differential calculus: the derivative of a function, geometrical importance of a derivative, derivation rules, derivates of elementary functions, a differential, higher order derivatives, Taylor's formula, application of a derivative (extremes, inflection points).
    Indefinite integral:  definition, integration rules, introduction of a new variable, partial integration, integration of rational functions, application and examples.
    Double, triple integrals.
    Differential equations: basic terminology, first order differential equations, second order differential equations, examples.
    Functions of more variables: examples, partial derivatives, Taylor's formula
    Practical application in logistics: examples.

Learning Outcomes

The ability to master standard methods and procedures of mathematical analysis.
    The ability to use the acquired theoretical knowledge in practice in logistics.
    Independence in professional work.

Students acquire the theoretical and applicative knowledge in the field of scientific research, upgrading natural sciences at the second level, or employment.

Planned Activities

Lectures: students understand the theoretical frameworks of the course. Part of the lecture course is in a classroom while the rest is in the form of e-learning (e-lectures may be given via video-conferencing or with the help of specially designed e-material in a virtual electronic learning environment).

Tutorials: Students enhance their theoretical knowledge and are able to apply it. Part of the seminar is in a classroom while the rest is in the form of e-learning (e-tutorials may be given via video-conferencing or with the help of specially designed e-material in a virtual electronic learning environment).

Assessment Methods and Criteria

Calculation exam: 80%
