GENERAL MATHEMATICS
(objectives)
According to the Degree Course in Economics and Business Management (CLEGA),
the course aims at enabling students to grasp the basic mathematical topics and tools needed in Economics and Firm Management modeling. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to know the basics of mathematical analysis, of differential calculus and of linear algebra articulate these notions in a conceptually and formally correct way, using adequately definitions, theorems and proofs understand the nature of mathematics as an axiomatic-deductive system apply the fundamental theoretical results of mathematical analysis, of differential calculus and of linear algebra to the solution of problems and exercises actively search for deductive ideas and chains that are fit to prove possible links between the properties of mathematical objects and to solve assigned problems
