Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| According to the ILO's of the bachelor in economics and management science program, the student will globally learn to use mathematical tools to solve management problems.
Particularly, the main objectives are:
learning of rigor in mathematics;
applying mathematics in management;
solving concrete problems;
using and applying mathematical models.
The target competences are:
- analyzing scientifically situations,
- solving problemes,
- modelizing,
- arguing,
- communicating.
