Syllabus The course "Mathematics" is given in the first semester of undergraduate studies and comprises of lectures and recitations. Students are assumed to possess mathematical background at the level required at the Polish Matura Mathematics Examination at Extended Level. The curriculum of "Mathematics" covers univariate function theory, basics of differential and integral calculus as well as selected topics in linear algebra and bivariate functions.
The purpose of the course The course provides fundamental mathematical knowledge and skills necessary to study modern economics, statistics and econometrics and other subjects requiring rigorous economical approach based on optimizing decision process.
Selection criteria Application order
Final grade Traditional (written form) exam THERE ARE TWO TERMS OF THE EXAM IF YOU FAIL THE FIRST ONE, YOU ARE STILL ELIGIBLE TO TAKE THE SECOND ONE
100% (=30 points) + max. 13% (= 4 points) of additional points obtained from colloquia
16 – 18 points dst (satisfactory) 19 – 21 points dst+
22 – 24 points db (good) 25 – 27 points db+ 28 – 30 points bdb (very good) 100% (= 30 points) (need to pass to be allowed to take the exam) Two colloquia, each for 30 points, then divided by two.
