Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire
The course aims at giving the student a basic knowledge of differential and integral calculus, and linear algebra for the study of economics, financel and statistical analysis. By the end of the course students have the ability to perform basic operations with vectors and matrices, to compute determinants, and to solve linear systems. As far as calculus is concerned, they can apply the methods of differential and integral calculus to plot the graph of functions, to compute the area of plane domains, and to find and classify critical points of functions of two variables.
