Course Description
To introduce, to study and to present applications of calculus of several variables and vector functions, differential equations and Laplace transform. The lectures are oriented towards elementary notions and model examples, with applications in military and engineering, while exercises are dedicated to sufficient number of exercises. The main goal is to familiarize students with main mathematical tools of faculty-level mathematics, to make them able to read mathematical literature and to teach them to think critically and logically.

Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate fundamental skills contained in the course, such as integration in one variable, and derivation of several variables.
- Outline basic definitions and theorems, describe methods, such as necessary and sufficient conditions for extremes, existence of solutions of Cauchy problem, Laplace transform.
- Explain, connect and interpret basic concepts and theories from the course.
- Make conclusions by using logical reasoning (analogy, contradiction, implication).
- Apply mathematical reasoning adequately.
- Demonstrate modeling and problem solvers skills.
- Illustrate problem by mathematical model, select and apply appropriate mathematical methods, interpret a solution to ensure it makes sense in the context of the problem.
- Analyse problems by combining different ares of mathematics.
- Think critically in solving complex problems.
- Demonstrate an ability to communicate mathematics, by team work, discussion and written material
