Objectives

After attending this course:

  • The student is familiar with the concepts, insights, results and techniques of real analysis (one variable and an introduction to multiple variables) and basic linear algebra. Using this knowledge, he/she is capable of quantitatively formulating, examining and understanding simplified economical and business oriented problems.
  • The student has gained a part of the knowledge needed to successfully follow the optimization and statistical courses and technology courses in the business engineering program.
  • The student has practiced formulating and arguing in a correct and accurate way.

Ethics, Responsibility, and Sustainability (ERS) objectives:

  • The student is aware of ERS through the use of ERS illustrations in examples, exercises, and applications.

Assessment activities

Type: Exam during the examination period
Assessment method: Written
Type of questions: Multiple choice,  Open questions,  Closed questions
Permitted materials: List of formulas,  Calculator

Explanation

Evaluation characteristics

  • Written examination with open questions, closed questions and multiple-choice questions.
  • The exam is closed book but the mathematics formula sheet available on toledo can be used and will be provided.
  • The use of a simple (non-graphical and non-programmable) calculator is permitted.
  • In case of catch-up exams, the exam type may differ from the regular exam type (e.g., only open questions, oral examination, ...)

Determination final result

  • The result is expressed as a whole number with a maximum of 20.
  • The open questions have a weight of 70% and the closed questions and multiple-choice questions together have a weight of 30%.
  • No correction for guessing is applied on the multiple-choice questions.

Information about resitting exams

The features of the evaluation and determination of grades are identical to those of the first exam period.
