Mathematics
A.A. 2021/2022
Obiettivi formativi
The aim of the course is to enable students to apply mathematics as a useful and precise tool in economics and statistics. Starting with a revision of basic mathematics and developing new theory using practical examples, the course will also foster students' ability in using graphs to simplify and check the resolution of problems.
Risultati apprendimento attesi
Students should be able to formalize practical situations using mathematical methods. They should become competent at creating graphs to represent functions and convey information. Students should be able to develop an effective study method in the subject for further independent learning and to critically analyze relations between mathematical theory and its practical applications.
