Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
1. Functions with several variables: numerical spaces, limits, continuity, partial derivatives, differential, implicit derivation; homogeneous functions; convex functions; optimization without and with constraints. 2. Integration: complements about simple integrals ; double integrals. 3. Functional equations: differential equations, difference equations. 4. Introduction to mathematical models, with applications to management.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Strategy : The course will allow students to analyse the financial and economic context of a complex situation. The course will allow students to understand the scientific and technological context of a complex situation. The course will allow students to demonstrate scientific precision and a critical mind in the analysis of a complex situation. Implementation : The course will train the student to capitalize on the characteristics of a more and more digitalized world when confronted with a complex situation. Quality and Performance Control : The course will teach the students to use the appropriate analytical tools when analysing a complex management situation. Adaptability : The course will encourage students to be curious and to show a scientific precision of academic level in their studies as well as in their professional life.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Linear algebra up to the classification of quadratic forms.
One-variable Calculus.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Each notion of the contents is illustrated by exercises.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
- Ex-cathedra lectures. - Exercises. - Possibility to attend "questions-and-answers" sessions.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
If in-site exams are forbidden (during any session), written or oral exams might be replaced by on-line multiple choice questions.
Recommended or required readings
Lecture notes and slides available on LoL@.

Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Written and/or oral exam with theory and exercises.
In January as well as in September, the 1st choice is an on site oral exam; the 2nd choice is a written on site exam (theory and practice) with open questions.
If there is an oral exam, students have to register according to the rules (including dates) communicated via LOl@. Any sudent not fulfilling these requirements can be considered "Absent" at the exam.
If the marks N_T for the theory and the marks N_P for the exercises are both greater than or equal to 05/20, the final marks are
N = 0.4 x N_T + 0.6 x N_P;
otherwise, N = min{N_T, N_P}.
