Abstract:
The course aims to introduce first year students to the current state and trends in the ICT fields, as well as to give
basic knowledge and skills for using a PC, working with DOS and Windows applications, the Internet, etc. The
students will need these basic skills in their further education.
Course content:
Structure of a personal computer, motherboard; functions and characteristics of the main modules, computer
periphery; technologies for design of printed circuit boards; basic elements of computer and communications
equipment, connections and markings; MS-DOS operating system; Microsoft Windows operating system;
Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Power Point); telecommunications equipment and technologies (mobile cellular
networks, wireless data transfer technologies); Internet and Internet technologies; browsers.
Teaching and assessment:
Lectures last 2 hours and are delivered during the first eight weeks. The practice sessions are conducted in
specialized labs at the departments of Computer Systems and Communications Engineering and Technologies.
The final mark is based on a mid-term test and a presentation on a specified topic. The test includes theoretical
questions and practical tasks.

Abstract:
The course is fundamental and is a basic course in the study of mathematics. It is based on the mathematics
knowledge from secondary school and it serves as a prerequisite for other mathematical, fundamental and
specialized courses. The syllabus reflects the new requirements to the mathematical teaching of engineers. When
the teaching material is properly assimilated it enables the students to progress into the theory of a series of
modern technical sciences.
Course content:
The course of Higher Mathematics 1 includes: Complex numbers and polynomials. Matrices and determinants.
Systems of linear algebraic equations. Vectors - scalar, vector, double vector and mixed products. Equations of a
straight line and a plane in space, curves and surfaces. Linear spaces, linear operators, eigen vectors and eigen
values. Numerical sets. Functions, inverse trigonometric functions. Numerical sequences, convergence. Limit of
function. Differential calculus of functions with one variable. Base theorems of the differential calculus. Examining
of the functions. Indefinite integral. Basic methods for integration.
Teaching and assessment:
Lectures concentrate on problems and examples with the minimum of proofs. At the seminars students acquire
skills to solve problems on the corresponding material. Recommended problems for homework are given and
solutions checked. Three one-hour tests are administered. The student prepares a course work, which consists of
solving computational and theoretical problems.
Continuous assessment is based on the results of the tests and the evaluation of the course work. It participates in
forming the final mark for the course.
If the mark of a test is at least 5 (on a scale from 2 to 6) the student is allowed to take a preliminary exam on the
basic theory of the chapter. If the student passes this exam successfully, he/she gets a mark for this chapter (at
least 5). In this way the student can get a final mark for the course before the exam session. The final exam
consists of 6 problems (computational and theoretical). To pass the exam at least 3 of them must be solved. The
final mark is formed after a discussion.
