Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Learning outcomes :
The aim is to learn how to use adequately the mathematics in the context of the management or the economics.
With this course, the student will
- acquire the mathematical tools needed in the models used in economics as well as the basics to be able to undertake statistics courses, essential for futur managers or economists.
- be aware of the need to think, to reason rigorously, argue, interpret (from a practical point of view) results and communicate its approach and conclusions in the context and the appropriate language.
- be able to structure and to organize knowledge so that it can integrate them later in his studies and later in his career.
The course will allow students to demonstrate scientific precision and a critical mind in the analysis of a complex situation.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Elementary algebra : fraction, power, operations priority, proper use of parenthesis; First and second degree functions and their graphs.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Methods
The course consists of one session a week. Each session alternates theory and practice. Students will need to be active during the sessions, as exercises will need to be solved during the session, with the course team available to answer questions.
Selected exercises are to prepare outside of class and before the exercise sessions. The exercises will be announced a few days to prepare in advance.
Personal work, outside of class sessions and exercises is expected of the student throughout the year. Regular work is essential to achieve the objectives.
In addition to the ongoing large group classes, exercise sessions are held in small groups. Formative evaluations ("blank exams") are organized.
