Analysis I

This course is part of the programme
Physics and astrophysics first cycle

Objectives and competences

The primary goal of this course is to give students the knowledge of methods of classic mathematical analysis: calculation of limits at various conditions, calculation of derivatives of functions with one and many argument, calculation of integrals. Basic goal is following: to give the knowledge for analysis of functions.
