Course Objectives

The study of Mathematics in scientific degree programs has fundamental importance today. Knowledge of quantitative methodologies and analytical tools necessary for their implementation represents, in the current socio-economic reality, indispensable elements in the cultural background of a future economist and/or qualified financial operator. The Mathematical Economics course, in line with this need, aims to provide students with these basic cognitive tools, to help them acquire the fundamental theoretical concepts necessary to promote learning and assimilation of a pure mathematical culture, but above all, applied, preparatory to the study of statistical and economic disciplines


Course Prerequisites


The Mathematical Economics course requires as prerequisites knowledge of elements of algebra and arithmetic that can be acquired from the first two chapters of the recommended textbook


Teaching Methods

Lectures of both theoretical nature and in laboratory setting at the Decisions LAB, through targeted exercises


Assessment Methods

Written examination and (upon passing) a subsequent oral examination referring to the topics provided in the content of this program


Evaluation criteria:


30 cum laude: complete, in-depth, and critical knowledge of the topics, excellent language skills, complete and original interpretative ability, full ability to independently apply knowledge to solve the proposed problems;


28 - 30: complete and in-depth knowledge of the topics, excellent language skills, complete and effective interpretative skills, able to independently apply the knowledge to solve the proposed problems;


24 - 27: knowledge of the topics with a good degree of mastery, good command of the language, correct and sure interpretative ability, good ability to correctly apply most of the knowledge to solve the proposed problems;


20 - 23: adequate knowledge of the topics but limited mastery of the same, satisfactory language skills, correct interpretative ability, more than sufficient ability to independently apply the knowledge to solve the proposed problems;


18 - 19: basic knowledge of the main topics, basic knowledge of the technical language, sufficient interpretative ability, sufficient ability to apply the acquired basic knowledge;
