2. COURSE DESCRIPTION
The courses will cover the most fundamentals of Linear Algebra in the first part: Matrix and
Determinant; Vector space; Systems of linear equations, Transformations and Quadratic
Forms. In the second part, the courses introduces the fundamentals of Calculus: : functions and
limits, differentiation of the functions, the functions of several variables and implicit functions;
max –min problems; integration; series and differential equation. The courses also introduces
the applications of Linear Algebra and Calculus in Economics and Business.

3. COURSELEARNING OBJECTIVES
3.1. About knowledge
1. The module provides the basic knowledge of linear algebra necessary for accessing models
of economic and managerial decision-making analysis: matrices and determinants; vector
space; system of linear equations
At the same time, the module provides basic knowledge of mathematical analysis: functions
and limits; differential calculus for one variable function; multivariate functions and hidden
functions; extreme problems; integral calculation; Differential differential equations are really
needed for accessing models of analysis of decision-making processes in economics and
management.
3.2. About the skill

1
3. The module is designed to give students the ability to think logically, to analyze methods,
and to apply quantitative tools to the application of basic and specialized research.
3.3. About the attitude
4. Having ethics, sense of responsibility in work, collective spirit and professional behavior.
5. Have the sense of need, regularly strive to improve the level of learning, research, always
find creative.
