Learning outcomes
This subject builds on the knowledge of mathematics that students have gained until maturita exame, it gives the basic knowledge of mathematical logic and set theory. It provides the student an introduction to the mathematical theory of elementary arithmetic and geometry and the theory of teaching mathematics with a focus on special needs of primary school teachers. Student develops the ability to use mathematical logic for the development of mathematical thinking. Special emphasis is placed on creative and independent work with concepts, on gradual building, acquisition, precise and concise use of technical language. The most essential symbolism is introduced to allow the use of clear entries for deeper understanding and strengthen a thorough mastery of the elements of the minimum of technical language.
Student is able to: - Determine the truth value of the statement, complex statement, negating quantified statement and justify their solutions, - Purely symbolic notation of mathematical objects, using the symbols of mathematical language in written expression, - Formulate a precise definition of the concepts introduced even more knowledge of the fundamentals of propositional logic and set theory to express - right after the linguistic and mathematical, - Solve problems using propositional calculus, knowledge about sets and set operations, - Represent a set Venn diagram, - Use the definitions to prove the claim about relationships between sets.
Prerequisites
The subject requires no specific prerequisites.
