• know how to solve a diagonal triangle
• can calculate the parts and surfaces of different plane patterns and the volumes of different pieces
• know how to solve basic tasks in vector calculus
• know the basic concepts of functions and recognize the typical properties of different functions
• recognize the graphs of different types of functions, you know how to use them and apply the topics in technical problems
• know how to create a mathematical model of technology problems and you know how to apply it in the solution of the problem
• are able to present and justify logically chosen solutions
• know how to evaluate the reasonableness and correctness of the solutions you make
