|
| Credits/ECTS : |
|
|
| Holder(s) : | Jacques Bair |
|
| Language : | Langue française |
|
| Course contents : | There are two parts :
1) Calculus : real and hyperreal numerical lines; continuity, derivability, differentiation, primitivation and integration for functions of one real variable (with a non-standard approach).
2) 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. |
|
| 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 : calculus.
Semester 2 : linear algebra. |
