All teaching activities will be held in Croatian. However, foreign students in mixed groups will have the opportunity to attend additional office hours with the lecturer and teaching assistants in English to help master the course materials. Additionally, the lecturer will refer foreign students to the corresponding literature in English, as well as give them the possibility of taking the associated exams in English.

LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will:
1. Know the basic notions of calculus (continuity, limits, derivatives and integrals) and use them to analyse properties of mathematical models of growth and other natural processes.
2. Set up and solve simple differential equations and produce mathematical models of population growth.
3. Know the basic notions and techniques of linear algebra (vectors, matrices, Gaussian eliminations, eigenvalues) and use them to solve problems described by linear equations.
4. Get to know Leslie's model of population dynamics and apply the acquired methods of linear algebra.
5. Clearly and precisely define mathematical notions, state theorems and make simple conclusions. Set up mathematical models of natural processes using the acquired notions and techniques.
