COURSE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
The main aim of this course is to make 'connection' between secondary school and faculty mathematics. The students are introduced to basic of mathematical language and ideas. The sets of numbers, functions and relations are considered at the beginning. The second aim is to repeat polynomials (in one and several variables) and fractional rational functions very carefully. A special care will be taken to equations and inequations. A systematic overview of algebraic equations (especially cubic and quartic algebraic equations), rational and irrational equations, equations with modulus, exponential and logarithmic equations, and trigonometric equations, will be done.
