Annotation
To enrich and deepen the knowledge of the essentials of calculus and ensemble it with some concepts of discrete and numerical mathematics is the main goal of the subject. The teaching is focused on the understanding of mathematical concepts with regard to their application, not on formal version and prove of theorems.
