	Objectives
	KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO KNOW THE FUNDAMENTAL NOTIONS OF LINEAR ALGEBRA AND THE DIFFERENTIAL AND INTEGRAL CALCULUS AS WELL AS THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF THE OPTIMIZATION. ON THE BASE OF THE ACQUIRED TECHNIQUES, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO FACE PROBLEMS OF FINANCIAL AND BUSINESS NATURE AND TO DEEPEN THEIR COMPETENCES THROUGH THE CONSULTATION OF PUBLICATIONS AND INFORMATIONS AVAILABLE FROM DATABASE OR ONLINE. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO USE THE MATHEMATICAL TOOLS INDISPENSABLE FOR THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE BUSINESS-QUANTITATIVE THEMES DEALT IN THE OTHER DISCIPLINES. THEY WILL DEVELOP ANALYTICAL AND CRITICAL ABILITY WITH REGARD TO THE TOOLS AND TO THE DEVELOPED RULES. THEY WILL BE ABLE TO ENUNCIATE AND TO DEMONSTRATE THEOREMS AND TO HOLD UP, IN CLEAR AND EFFECTIVE WAY, AN ORAL DISCUSSION WITH OPPORTUNE REFERENCES TO THE CONTENTS OF THE COURSE.
