The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. Acquire basic knowledge in fundamental mathematical techniques and understand how mathematics is used in social sciences. 2. Repeat the concept and properties of real numbers, remembers simple algebraic issues such as factorization, systems of linear equations and linear inequalities, classify numbers and make calculations with exponents and radicals.
3. Define quadratic equations, inequalities and their graphs, develop and model situations described by linear or quadratic equations and solve them.
4. Understand linear, hyperbolic, exponential and logarithmic functions and find composite and inverse functions; sketch the graphs of specific functions and find symmetry, reflection and rotations in Cartesian coordinates.
5. Solve systems by describing equilibrium and break-even points; define economic relationships as single variable functions, like demand, supply, price, revenue, cost and profit.
6. Compute simple interest using the simple interest formula, compound and continuous compound interest; and the future value of an annuity; develop a strategy for solving finance problems using mathematics.
7. Calculate matrix operations, find inverse of a matrix and solve systems of linear equations using matrix equations. |
