Abstract

The course covers basic definitions and methods of calculus. This course, together with other mathematical courses, provides sufficient condition for students to be ready to participate in quantitative and computational modeling at the Master's Program "Cognitive Sciences and Technologies: From Neuron to Cognition". Students study the theory and applications of continuous functions their derivatives and integrals; solve optimization and approximation problems; study complex numbers and Fourier series as well as some basic material of the theory of differential equations.

Learning Objectives

• know basic skills to start quantitative and computational modeling
• know basic principles of calculus

Assessment Elements

• test
  The retake will consist of the similar tasks and will be evaluated in the same manner.
• test
  The retake will consist of the similar tasks and will be evaluated in the same manner.
• Written exam
  The first retake will consist of the similar tasks and will be evaluated in the same manner. The final mark of the course will also evaluate in the same manner. The second retake will consist of the similar tasks. In this case the final mark is equal to the mark obtained during the second retake.
