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
Principles of mathematical reasoning; elementary algebra; real numbers.

Assessment methods and criteria
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions ) AND oral exam
- Remote
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
Additional information:
Oral and/or written examination with theory and exercises.
In June 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 and/or multiple choice 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}.
