Additional professional competences
The students will become familiar with the basic concepts and tools of advanced mathematical analysis, they know and understand the scientific principles, relations and procedures that are necessary and required in engineering professions. They will be able to recognize a problem of higher mathematics, identify the adequate method to solve it and they can apply the method in a quick and precise manner. They are able to build an adequate mathematical model for a given technical problem, to generalize it for similar cases.
Requirements, evaluation and grading
Mid-term study requirements
There will be four small test on practical lectures for 10 points each, a minimum of 3 points must be achieved; two large tests will be written on theoretical lectures for 30 points each, a minimum of 10 points must be achieved. There will be on occasion given at the end of the study period to retake tests and improve the final result. Attendance in lectures is compulsory, the minimum points must be achived in each test. The final grade will be given based on the achived points according to the TVSZ.
Generative AI usage
Use of GAI tools is not permitted for solving assignments. This means GAI tools cannot be used to complete formative or summative assessments, and using GAI constitutes academic misconduct. The use of AI tools for spelling and grammar checking does not fall under this prohibition.
