- 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 problems,
- modelizing,
- arguing,
- communicating.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Elementary algebra : fractions, powers, operations priority, proper use of parentheses; first and second degree functions and their graphs.
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" sessions weekly.

Lecture notes, slides and exercices are available via Lol@.
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}.
