0415 Mathematics 1
ECTS credits: 6
Weekly classes: 3lec+1sem+0labs+1ps+1ca
Assessment: exam
Type of exam: written and oral
Department involved:
Department of Algebra and Geometry
Faculty of Natural Sciences and Education
Lecturers:

Abstract:
The course is fundamental and is a basic course in the study of mathematics. It is based on the knowledge of
mathematics 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 training 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 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 students prepare coursework, which consists of
solving computational and theoretical problems.
Continuous assessment is based on the results of the tests and the evaluation of the coursework. It is included 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.

Abstract:
The course is an introduction to programming and aims at giving the students skills to develop algorithms
and computer programmes at intermediate level of difficulty. Significant attention is paid to algorithm
development. The Pascal programming language is used as a tool, which was created especially to teach
programming and which possesses all the features of the professional programming languages.
Course content:
Computer classification. CPU, Main memory. Data representation. Program development process. Algorithms.
Introduction to Pascal. General structure of a program. Operations. Built-in functions. Expressions. Branches.
Repetitions. Arrays. Pointers. Procedures and functions. Strings. Records. Files.
Teaching and assessment:
The lectures comprise 2 hours a week. The practice sessions take place in computer labs and the students work
on the above topics under the lecturer’s supervision. At the end of each stage the practical skills of the students
are tested. At the end of the semester students’ knowledge is examined by a test.
The final grade is based on the average mark of the continuous assessment at the practice sessions, the test
mark and the evaluation of the coursework.
The final grade is an average mark based on the continuous assessment at the workshops, the test mark and the
evaluation of the coursework.
