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

Class attendance is not mandatory, but strongly recommendedType of evaluation
Ongoing evaluation approach - To stimulate an active attitude throughout the course, the students’ behaviour during the classes and willingness to participate in learning activities are taken into account in the evaluation process. For the same reason, two midterm tests are scheduled during the course. Each test lasts one hour and consists of exercises covering specific parts of the exam syllabus. The exam consists in a written test, lasting 2 hours, and in an oral test. The written test consists of exercises, multiple choice questions, theoretical questions regarding the whole program and a question regarding theory. The oral test consists in one or more questions, including proofs of the main results/theorems. teacher profile teaching materials

Teaching activities include, in addition to lectures, lasting 2 hours three times a week, also a exercises session, lasting 2 hours, once a week. Exercise sessions are dedicated to the application of the main theoretical results obtained to problems and exercises of various nature. Class attendance is not mandatory, but strongly recommended.Attendance
Class attendance is not mandatory, but strongly recommended.Type of evaluation
The exam will consist of a written test, lasting 2 hours, and in a theory test. The written test will consist of exercises, individuation of true / false propositions with short justification, theoretical questions regarding the whole program and a question regarding theory. The theory test will consist of one or more questions throughout the program including proofs of the main results/theorems.Mutuazione: 21210239 MATEMATICA GENERALE in Economia e gestione aziendale L-18 R Q - Z CORRADINI MASSIMILIANO,
