  • Present your calculations and arguments in such a way that they are easy to follow even for someone who is not already involved with the problem.
  • Read mathematical text and get to master new applications, described in a mathematical way.
  • Assess correctness, accuracy and relevance of mathematical models and computations
  • Use and derive basic relations between elementary functions
  • Use elementary functions to describe behaviour of certain models, for example, oscillations and growth phenomenon.
  • In addition, the student should have acqired learning technique that simplifies further mathematical studies.
