Course objectives (in Czech)
The course Quantitative Methods A makes the participants acquainted with basic knowledge and terms from the area of algebra and mathematics so that the students shall be able to use the introduced constructions and explained thought and numerical procedures in their future autonomous study. Further, they will acquire a variety of numerical skills. This course will be followed by the course Quantitative Methods B.
