Abstract

The course covers basic definitions and methods of calculus. This course, together with other mathematical courses, provides sufficient condition for students to be ready to participate in quantitative and computational modeling at the Master's Program "Cognitive Sciences and Technologies: From Neuron to Cognition". Students study the theory and applications of continuous functions their derivatives and integrals; solve optimization and approximation problems; study complex numbers and Fourier series as well as some basic material of the theory of differential equations.

Assessment Elements

Assessment Elements

  • non-blocking test
    The retake will consist of the similar tasks and will be evaluated in the same manner.
  • non-blocking test
    The retake will consist of the similar tasks and will be evaluated in the same manner.
  • non-blocking Written exam
    The first retake will consist of the similar tasks and will be evaluated in the same manner. The final mark of the course will also evaluate in the same manner. The second retake will consist of the similar tasks. In this case the final mark is equal to the mark obtained during the second retake.
