9. Course description:
This course is an ECE and ES core required course providing fundamental concepts
and methods of mathematics. This course covers concepts of basic models of
mathematics (one or several variables): limits, continuity, derivative, differentials,

1
 partial derivatives, linear approximations, optimizations, integral and improper integral
of single-variable functions, approximate integration, partial derivatives of functions of
several variables. The course gives chances for students working in many basic
applications of derivative and integral in science and engineering by supporting of
computer algebra systems (CAS).
10. Course learning outcomes (CLOs):
