Subject syllabus

The aim of the subject is to get acquainted with the basic knowledge of advanced mathematics, which is necessary for further studies of quantitative methods in economics. The subject’s structure and nature themselves have their importance as they help to develop logical thinking as well as the ability to enunciate thoughts accurately and to give clear argumentation when solving the practical problems.

• will know: count limit of function, derivate of function, count with matrices, count integral indefinite and definite,
• profit: basic knowledge from differential calculus, from linear algebra and from integral calculus,
• will be able: use mathematics as instrument for better comprehension of economy.
