Course description |
|
The course of Mathematics aims to provide students the understanding of the basic analytical instruments, focusing also to the tools currently used in the economic analysis. The main topics of the course are the study of the functions, derivates of functions, intregrals, and matrices. Those course is the basic step to collect the tools necessary to attend statistics and other economic courses. |

Exercises |
|
The exercises follow the macro arguments on which the course is structured. However, there are few insights to better understand some topics not intuitive. In particular, given the broad class of knowledge and related techniques, contained in systematic qualitative study of a real function of a real variable, it presents a detailed method for how to properly follow the study. |
