Course objectives
The aim of the course is to provide students with the basic tools necessary for quantitative analysis in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and other courses.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, students will be able to
- handle routine mathematical operations and calculations.
- understand basic mathematical concepts
- apply procedures on solving practical problems in real situations.
- figure out how to use mathematical tools in economic, commercial, managerial and financial fields.

Teaching methods
The course is divided into four tutorials. Students are expected to study the literature. There are obligatory auto-correction exercises and homework.
Assessment methods
The course is completed by an exam. The total score consists of:
- the points gained in final written test (70%)
- the points for autocorrection exercise (20%)
- the written homework (10%)
Any copying, recording or taking out the tests, use of unauthorized devices and means of communication or other distortions of test objectivity will be considered a failure in the course and a gross violation of study regulations. Consequently, the teacher closes the test (credit) score in IS by grade "F" and Dean initiates disciplinary proceedings.
