Computer Exercises from Mathematics
FCH-BC_PCM2Acad. year: 2012/2013
Subject gives students basic knowledge and skills of the work with mathematical programme MATLAB as an aid-to-computation, as a programming language and as a tool of graphical presentation. In terms of this subject students will be made familiar with elementary mathematical functions of MATLAB, they will make operations with polynomials, matrices, functions and vectors. They will solve practice tasks in which they have to know partial-fraction expansion, how to solve linear and non-linear equations and their systems, find zero points respective maximum or minimum of function, find derivative, primitive function and definite integral of function and so on. Student will apply vector dot product and vector cross product on computing of areas, surfaces and volumes of bodies. They will learn to process data files, to practise approximation and interpolation of measured data including graphical outputs. Next they will learn fundamentals of programming and they will solve numerically and graphically course of function. A big attention will be given to MATLAB as a tool of graphical presentation in 2D and in 3D. Students will study in detail conic sections and quadratic surfaces.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
" computers help with routine and time-consuming calculations (the theoretical background has been discussed earlier),
" computers help to revise discussed subject matter using another non-traditional procedures (the tasks can't be solved with computer support without any theoretical background),
"computers can illustrate theoretical problems or dependencies (often with graphical support),
"computer can solve tasks that can't be solved by students themselves.
Graduates of this subject will be able to apply their knowledge and skills which they gained in subject Mathematics I when solving mathematical tasks in program MATLAB both in numerical part and in Symbolic Math Toolbox environment.
They will be able to solve tasks using a combination of numerical, symbolical and graphical methods, they will not be able to solve otherwise, but which are required for their specialization.
Graduates of this subject will be able to solve and present theoretical, numerical, symbolical and practical mathematical tasks. Their technical text will comply to ISO-31-11 standard, to current typographic rules and to appropriate graphical level.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Student can have from the task n. 1 a total of 4 points, for acceptation he (she) must get at least 2 points. From task n. 2 student can have a total of 6 points, for acceptation he (she) must get at least 3 points. From task n. 3 (course of function) student can have a total of 15 points, for acceptation he (she) must get at least 8 points. From task n. 4 student can have a total of 4 points, for acceptation he (she) must get at least 2 points. From task n. 5 student can have a total of 4 points, for acceptation he (she) must get at least 2 points. From semester project student can have a total of 50 points, for acceptation he (she) must get at least 25 points. From test student can have a total of 15 points, for acceptation he (she) must get at least 8 points. Student can get 1 point for attendance and only excused absence is acceptable. For activity, when student solves some voluntary tasks, he (she) can get other points. Solving voluntary tasks is unnecessary for passing the subject.

Aims
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
DU2 - interpolation or approximation of measured data (calculation of basic statistic quantity, graphic presentation)
DU3 - numerical and graphical solution of a graph of a real function of one real variable (15 items including tangent lines and asymptotes)
DU4 - practical word problem, in which student must find maximum or minimum (student must find the function, then he (she) it generally resolve extreme including conditions and units and in the end he (she) fund concrete numerical solution)
DU5 - finding of the volume and surface area of the solid, the height of the solid and the area of the base surface of body
SP - five tasks
ad1. - finding the function of speed and change of this speed in given time interval, (partial-fraction expansion, in denominator is polynomial of five degree, integration of particular fractions);
ad2. - finding the price of the chemical elements, (system of eight equations in eight unknowns)
ad3. - finding surface area of the foil, which is bounded by given curves including graphical presentation;
ad4. - finding trajectories of two mass points or its common points, (student must find the central or vertex form of given conic sections, find all characteristic elements and graphically represent including description and points of intersection);
ad5. - determination and graphical representation of given surface
