NETB153 Calcalous
Annotation:
The course is designed to help students to understand the basic ideas of continuous mathematics as limits, continuity, derivatives, integrals. It will show the conceptual part and the practical value of calculus. The covered mathematical topics will be necessary both for the mathematical courses, and as support for other subjects.
The lectures will introduce the topic, supported by worked examples. Seminars will involve students in exercises and practical problems. Emphasis is on encouraging the student to learn mathematics by doing it – students should not be observers, they should be participants.
Lecturers:

Assessment:
Form of evaluation:
- Current evaluation (CE): Test – 50 points, Total : 100 points.
- Final Test (FT): 100 points.
The (CE) and (FT) estimates are form separately as follows:
70 points and more – 6
60 – 69 points - 5
50 – 59 points - 4
40 – 49 points - 3
les than 40 - 2
Final estimate (E) is obtained by the formulae: (E) = max[CE , FT]
