Matematica per le applicazioni economiche

Semester 1-2 · 27356 · Corso di laurea in Economia e Management · 12CFU · EN


M1: The course "Mathematics for Economists M1" deals with basic mathematical concepts like sets, relations, functions, numbers, limits and absolute values. Moreover we will introduce functions of one variable by studying their basic properties, derivatives and their calculus, Taylor approximations and the Newton's method. We will also address the single-variable optimization (Fermat's rule and sufficient optimality conditions) and the elements of integration.

M2: In this course we study linear algebra and functions of several variables.

Dozenc: Martin Meier, Paolo Maraner

Sort de ejam
M1: A written final exam (questions and problems to solve) which counts 100% for the M1 partial grade. ILO 1.1, ILO 2.1, ILO 3.1, ILO 4.1. M2: A written final exam (questions and problems to solve) which counts 100% for the M2 partial grade. ILO 1.1, ILO 2.1, ILO 3.1, ILO 4.1. The final mark is the average of the marks of M1 and M2 - There is no different assessment for attending and non-attending students.

Criters de valutazion
Final grade: 50% grade for M1 partial grade, 50% for M2 partial grade. The results of assignments and partial exams are only valid for the academic year in question. They cannot be carried over beyond that time frame.
