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 consists of lectures and seminars.
Assessment methods
The course is completed by an exam. The total score consists of:
- the points gained in four written tests (80%)
- the points for active participation at instructions and homework - autocorrection exercise (20%)
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.
