Goals of course

Adjustment of students to the modern demands of mathematical university education. Creation of a base for studying main mathematical disciplines: analytical and differential geometry, algebra, number theory, mathematical analysis. Description of basics of elementary algebra, elementary geometry, elementary functions from one viewpoint. Forming a basis of mathematical way of thinking, acquaintance of students with mathematical methods of constructing theorem proofs, studying algorithm of solving on particular problems of elementary mathematics

At the end of the course a student will be able:

– to transform and simplify algebraic expressions;

– to solve simple algebraic equations and inequalities;

– draw  graphs of elementary functions.

7

Background

Algebra and number theory, analytical geometry.
