Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

Knowledge • Define the function of one variable. • Find the domain and range and basic properties. • Draw graphs of elementary functions. • Compute limits and derivates of functions. • Find the properties of no elementary functions a draw theirs graphs. • Obtain easier imagine about economic functions. Comprehension • Express economic dependences using a mathematical function. • Explain the slope of a function. • Restate the terms “concavity” and “convexity” into the “degressive” and “progressive”. • Generalise the functions on the dependences in the real live. Applications • Relate economic and mathematical functions. • Discover the tools suitable for describing of dependences in economics and other sciences. • Develop the technique of graphs drawing.

Summary

Taught in Czech only. The subject continues fulfilling general methodical and professional goals of Mathematics, i.e. to train the rational thinking and the ability to conceive and work with quantitative information concerning the real world. This is being done especially by mathematization of the practical as well as theoretical economic problems. This subject supplies the students’ education with realms of higher Mathematics which is applicable namely to the creation and investigation of economic models.

Subject syllabus:

Témata výkladu zpracovaných v podobě multimediálních studijních opor: 1. Linear algebra – linear dependence of vectors, linear independence of vectors, matrices, addition and multiplication of matrices, determinant, the inverse of the matrix, matrix equations. 2. Functions of one real variable – definition, domain and range, classification, graphs, even and odd functions, monotonic functions (strictly increasing, strictly decreasing), inverse functions, composition of functions. 3. The limits of functions – properties of limits, limits to infinity, one sided limits, definition of continuity, continuity on an interval. 4. An introduction to the differential calculus – slope of a tangent line at a point, derivative, equation of a tangent line and normal line to a curve at a point, techniques of differentiation, higher order derivations, l´Hospital´s rule. 5. Course of a function – local and global extrema, intervals of monotonicity, points of inflection, convexity, concavity, asymptotic lines. Problems are solved offline (individually, under the supervision of a tutor with the aid of supportive materials).
