| Learning Outcomes |
Competences |
| Students should be familiar with the basics of mathematics and its application in economic contexts. Simple mathematical problems with an economic background can be formulated mathematically and solved using standard methods.
Furthermore, students should also be able to tackle problems of realistic scale using computer-based tools, in order to be prepared for the real-world use of mathematics in their future careers.

|
| Skills |
Knowledge |
| Basic mathematical methods (as outlined in "knowledge") should be mastered and can be manually computed in "small examples." For problems of real-world scale, appropriate software tools are used. Mathematical results should be interpretable within the context of the problem.
|
Working with sets, matrix operations, solving systems of linear equations using Gaussian elimination, linear optimization with the Simplex algorithm, differentiation of functions with one or more variables, and optimization of functions with or without constraints.
