Goemans Wendy (coordinator) | Goemans Wendy | Maes Ann | Van Gulck Stefan Aims
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.
Previous knowledge
The student must have sufficient mathematical maturity. The description of the mathematical topics you are expected to have covered before entering the Bachelor of Business Engineering programme, can be found on this website: https://feb.kuleuven.be/eng/prospective-students/bachelor-of-business-engineering/overview

Evaluation
Evaluation: Mathematics for Business Engineers II (B-KUL-H75204)
Explanation
Evaluation caracteristics
- The course is assessed by the teacher(s), as announced via Toledo and the examination schedule. The result is calculated and expressed as a whole number with a maximum of 20.
- The mathematics formula sheet available on toledo can be used. 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
- Written examination (type "closed book") with open questions (weight 70%) and multiple-choice and closed questions (weight 30%).
- A correction for guessing is applied on the multiple-choice questions.
Information about retaking exams
The features of the evaluation and determination of grades are identical to those of the first exam period.
