[ version française ]

Duration :60h Th, 30h Pr
Credits/ECTS :
1re année du grade de bachelier ingénieur de gestion8
Holder(s) :Jacques Bair
Course contents : There are two parts :

1) Linear algebra : algebra for vectors and matrices ; linear systems ; characteristic values and vectors ; diagonalisation ; quadratic forms (without and with constraints) ; markov's chains ; generalized inverse.

2) Calculus : real and hyperreal numerical lines; continuity, derivability, differentiation, primitivation and integration for functions of one real variable (with a non-standard approach).
Course objective : To learn to be rigorous, to use mathematics in management, to solve concrete problems, to introduce to mathematical models.
Prerequisites : Principles of mathematical reasonings ; elementary algebra, ; basic trigonometry and geometry ; theory of real numbers.
Workshops : Exercises in several groups.
Organization : Semester 1 : linear algebra.

Semester 2 : calculus.
