Teaching results

A successful graduate of the course will have knowledge of differential and integral calculus, necessary for the study of other economic subjects. After completing the course, students will receive:
Knowledge and understanding
- understanding the basic principle of differential and integral calculus and their simple
applications in economy,
- awareness of the inevitability of the use of quantitative (mathematical) methods in economic
applications.
Skills
- students can solve fundamental problems of differential and integral calculus by using appropriate open-source software systems,
- solve fundamental problems of economic analysis and interpret the results of solutions.
Competence
- actively expand their mathematical knowledge and skills and use them in other subjects of quantitative orientation.
