Course objectives
The aim of the course is to understand basic concepts from higher mathematics (matrix calculus, functions of one real variable, differential calculus of functions of one real variable) and statistics (descriptive statistics, discrete and continuous probability models, hypothesis testing, regression analysis). The goal is to be able to apply the acquired knowledge in practice.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to: analyze the course of a function (calculate the extrema of a function, determine its properties); write equations of elementary functions and will know their properties; apply descriptive statistics in practice; be able to to to use and interpret the results of linear regression analysis.
Syllabus
  • 1. Matrix calculus and determinants Basic concepts, sum of matrices and multiplication of matrices by a constant, linear space of matrices. Adjustment to triangular shape, matrix rank. Unit matrix, regular, and singular matrix. Product of matrices and its properties. Inverse matrix. Solving matrix equations. Calculation of the determinant. Determinant of regular and singular matrices. Cramer's rule. Calculation of the inverse matrix. 2. Sequence and limit of sequence Arithmetic and geometric sequence. A finite and infinite sequence. Bounded and unbounded sequence. A monotonous sequence. Convergent and divergent sequence. Calculation of sequence limits, and properties of sequence limits. 3. Functions of one real variable and its limit Real functions of one real variable. Supremum and infimum, limited function, monotonic, convex, and concave. Simple function and inverse function. Elementary function. Definition field of elementary functions, their properties, and graphs. Continuity of a function of one real variable and its properties. The theorem of Bolzano and Weierstrass. Function limit. Asymptotes of the function. Theorems about the limits of a function. 4. Differential calculus of a function of one real variable The derivative of a function is given explicitly, as the geometric meaning of the derivative, the relation of continuity, and proper derivatives. The theorem is about the derivative of arithmetic operations and the derivative of a complex function. Differential, derivatives of higher orders. Investigation of the progress of the function. 5. Descriptive statistics - qualitative and quantitative characteristics Statistical unit and statistical file. Frequency distribution of qualitative characters. Frequency distribution of quantitative traits. Location characteristics (mode, median, quantiles, averages). Characteristics of variability (dispersion, standard deviation, range). Coefficient of variation. 6. Discrete and continuous probabilistic models Uniform distribution. Binomial distribution. Poisson distribution. Normal distribution. Exponential distribution. Chi-square distribution. Student's distribution. 7. Hypothesis testing - parametric and non-parametric tests Basic concepts of hypothesis testing. Hypothesis testing procedure. Significance level and p-value of the test. Two-choice tests. The goodness of fit test (Chi-square test). Testing the independence of qualitative features. 8. Simple regression analysis Statistical dependence between two quantitative traits. Simple linear regression. The method of least squares. Classical linear model. Coefficient of determination.
