Course detail
Mathematical Analysis
FSI-UMA-A Acad. year: 2026/2027 Winter semester
Attendance at lectures and seminars is obligatory and checked. Absence may be compensated based on an agreement with the teacher.
Course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions: A semestral project consisting of assigned problems. Active participation in seminars.
Examination: The exam tests the knowledge of definitions and theorems (especially the ability of their application to the given problems) and practical skills in solving particular problems. The exam has written and oral part. For the written exam, one sheet of A4 hand-written paper (two-sided) is permitted with formulas and criteria of your choice (without particular examples). The use of a (simple) calculator is also allowed, but phones and computers are not permitted. The list of topics for the oral part of the exam will be announced at the end of the semestr.
The final grade reflects the result of the examinational test (maximum 90 points), discussion about the semestral project (maximum 10 points).
The grading scheme is as follows: excellent (90-100 points), very good (80-89 points), good (70-79 points), satisfactory (60-69 points), sufficient (50-59 points), failed (0-49 points).
