Syllabus

Obiettivi Formativi

Knowledge and understanding:
At the end of the course, students must have acquired the knowledge of a basic set of mathematical
tools, and the confidence with mathematical language, which are necessary to deal with economic and
business problems.

Applying knowledge and understanding:
At the end of the course, students must be able:
- to apply the mathematical methods developed in the course to the solution of problems;
- to model using mathematical language real-life, economic, business, financial problems;
- to illustrate and interpret the relationships between variables by graphs.

Making judgments:
At the end of the course, students must be able to create links among notions acquired during the course
and to tackle economic-business problems through the use of logical and formal mathematical tools.

Communication skills:
At the end of the course, students must acquire an ability to communicate clearly and effectively the
acquired knowledge.

Learning skills:
At the end of the course, students must have developed good learning skills, which allow them to
independently apply the knowledge acquired to the course of their studies.

Prerequisiti

Assumed Background

Students should be familiar with the following:
- Factoring polynomials, expansion and simplification of algebraic expressions;
- Solving equations and inequalities with one variable (linear, quadratic, rational, irrational, exponential, logarithmic), logarithms and the exponential function;
- Solving systems of linear equations and inequalities;
- Review analytic geometry.

Metodi didattici

Lectures and traditional classroom tutorials will be provided. Besides, teaching activities will be available in the "comunità didattica" (e-learning platform) of the course.

Verifica Apprendimento

There are two examination methods:

1. A GENERAL WRITTEN EXAM
The exam includes a written test which allows you to achieve a maximum score of 32 points. The written test is made up of 7 questions on the entire program carried out, each question grants from 3 to 9 points.
For each exercise, the maximum score achievable will be indicated in the test. The exam is considered passed if the mark obtained is at least 18 points. Honors are awarded to those who score 31 or 32 points out of 30.

2. EXAM WITH TWO PARTIAL TESTS
Two partial tests are scheduled, the first one is held on November and the second one on January during the first exam call of the winter session together with the general exam. Each partial test will have the same structure as the general exam described above.
All students can participate in the first partial tests, even students from previous years and/or with Additional Educational Obligations (OFA) in Mathematics. All the students who achieved a score of at least 15 points in the first partial test are admitted to the second test.
In the second test the student must achieve a score of at least 15 points.
The exam is considered passed if the average of the marks obtained in the two partial tests is at least 18 points. Honors are awarded to those who score 31 or 32 points out of 30.

For students who need to recover their Additional Educational Obligations (OFA) in Mathematics, please refer to the dedicated webpage https://www.unibs.it/it/ofa-economia
