Présentation

Prerequisite
Basic understanding of mathematics
Goal
This course is not a “purely mathetmatical” course, but an introduction to the mathematical tools of economics and management (micro- and macroeconomics finances, accounting, management of resources and production, marketing ...) . During the second semester, some elements of matrix algebra will be mobilized as part of a linear programming. This is to determine the optimal allocation of one or more factors of production, and generally determine the "best" way a company can achieve its objectives.
Presentation
Section 3b: Elements of production analysis (matrix algebra)
3.4. Resolution matrix of a system of linear equations
3.5. Applications to production forecasting
Chapter 4: Resource managent: linear programming
4.1. Brief review on quantitative techniques used in logistics
4.2. Linear programming: formulation and graphic resolution
4.3. Simplex algorithms and the method tables

Modalités

Forms of instruction
• Lecture
Two lectures and ten work sessions are scheduled run during the semester. Each chapter refers to a theme or a specific problem encountered in economics or management. The goal is to present the corresponding mathematical tool, through the processing of various applications.
• Tutorials
The tutorials consist of an application of the course. They are set up as vocabulary quizzes, questions from lectures, computational exercises and analytical work.
