Objective The course comprises two basic parts; linear algebra and differential calculus with multi variables functions. The objective of the first part is to recall to the student elementary linear algebra necessary for the comrehension of the second part as well as to follow other similar courses. The objective of the second part is to transmit to the student fundamental on differential calculus, topology of real functions of several real variables and their optimization.
