THE ACHIEVEMENT OF STUDENTS IN MATHEMATICS AND THE INFLUENCE OF MATHEMATICS ON THE STUDY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

摘要

In civil engineering and technology itself (applied) mathematics often occurs. Therefore, first we evaluated the success of students during two semesters in the first year of their studies. In this paper we used several statistical tools to analyse and describe the results of the examination of the subjects Mathematics 1 and Mathematics 2. The core of these subjects is to deal with matrices, limits, derivatives, integrals and their application in civil engineering. Next aim was to described the impact of mathematical knowledge on successful graduation at the Faculty of civil engineering. This was carried out by means of logistic regression based on the results of previous graduates. Based on the obtained model we predicted successful or unsuccessful completion of studies for current freshmen. These days a very often discussed aspect is the importance of upper secondary school examination from the subject Mathematics. The effect of this factor on successful graduation is also determined.
