- Calculus (several variables): optimization.
- Systems of linear equations.
- Matrix algebra, determinants.
- Applications to management science and economics.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
According to the ILO's (prerequisite of the 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.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Elementary algebra : fractions, powers, operations priority, proper use of parenthesis; first and second degree functions and their graphs. 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)
- Face-to-face lectures.
- Practice sessions.
- Possibility to attend "questions-and-answers" session weekly.
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, slides and exercices are available via 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.
The 1st choice is a written on site exam with open questions.
Marginal sections students could have other exam methods.
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}.
