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.
