The issue viewed in this paper, which affects a multitude of technical universities: an insufficient level of basic mathematical knowledge among students. The 2016/17 centralized State examination, as well as, basic mathematical knowledge examinations done by Riga Technical University have been analyzed. The results show that a large part of students do not have the required level of knowledge in basic mathematics to successfully study calculus. Measures that RTU is using to avert these issues are mentioned.
