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 be made operation with polynomials, with matrices, with functions and with vectors. They will be solved practice tasks in which they must: to know partial-fraction expansion, to solve linear and non-linear equations and their systems, to find zero points respective maximum or minimum of function, to find derivative, primitive function and definite integral of function and so on. Student will be applied vector dot product and vector cross product on computing of areas, surfaces and volumes of bodies. They will be learnt to process data files, to practise approximation and interpolation of measured data including graphical outputs. Next they will be learnt fundamentals of programming and they will be solved 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 be applied in detail to 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 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.
For example, in the first problem, a polynomial of the fifth degree is in the denominator, and students are not able to solve it. They have to find the roots of this polynomial with the help of MATLAB and then make the partial-fraction expansion, for which they need to know the relevant theory. In the third problem they have to draw the relevant area in order to be able to formulate the integral, which will give the solution of their problem. Ignorance of the relevant theory and mere mechanical computation of the integral generally leads to an incorrect result. Similarity we can get incorrect graphical illustration of surfaces, conic sections and so on.
