Course Details

Mathematics 1

Academic Year 2026/27

BAA101-K course is part of 1 study plan

BKC-SIS Winter Semester 1st year

The goal of the course is to deepen and strengthen the knowledge gained from high school math. Students will learn new techniques and mathematical methods, enhance their logical thinking, which will allow them to think and apply the knowledge they've gained in their specializations. Students should also learn to analyze a problem, choose the right approach, select the appropriate calculation method, and evaluate the result, which should lead to critical thinking. The course is divided into three topics: the first focuses on the basics of linear algebra; the second covers single-variable calculus; and the third is dedicated to the basics of integral calculus.

Aims

Professional Knowledge:

  • Familiarity with matrix algebra and its application to solving systems of linear equations. Understanding of the fundamental concepts of differential and integral calculus of functions of one variable, including the geometric interpretation of selected concepts. Introduction to vector calculus and its applications.

Professional Skills:

  • The student will acquire proficiency in differentiation and integration techniques and will learn how to analyze the behavior of functions.
  • The student will be able to perform matrix operations, carry out elementary matrix transformations, compute determinants and inverse matrices, and solve systems of linear algebraic equations using both the Gaussian elimination method and inverse matrices.

General Competences:

  • The student will be prepared to continue further studies that require knowledge and understanding of the topics covered in this course.
