Úvod do matematiky pro studenty VŠE – Klůfa Jindřich (2024)

This textbook is intended for students of the introductory courses Mathematics for Economists (ident 4MM101) and Mathematics for Computer Scientists (ident 4MM106) at the University of Economics in Prague. It serves as a supplement to the basic literature for these courses, summarizing everything necessary that students should know about mathematics at the beginning of their studies at VŠE. In addition, the textbook represents the essential study literature for the elective course Introduction to the Study of Mathematics (ident 4MM121), which is accredited at the Department of Mathematics at the University of Economics in Prague. This course is designed to assess the mathematics knowledge of first-year VŠE students. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for students who have come to the University of Economics from high schools with a lower mathematics curriculum. The textbook revisits the basics of high school mathematics in a simple manner. In addition to solving equations and inequalities of all kinds, it reviews sequences, real functions of one real variable (exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric), and complex numbers. It also includes an introduction to combinatorics and analytical geometry in the plane. The explanations are more detailed, concepts are thoroughly explained, and the text is supplemented with illustrations and a large number of examples.
