In general, the knowledge that is required to successful follow a course in maths relates with the basic algebraic properties of polynomials, logarithms and solving linear equations. It is relevant a basic use of derivatives, including the standard techniques (sums, products and chain rule), as well as basic integration. Finally, it is also important to know the basic techniques for function representations and in particular the representation of the main functions.
The courses in maths in this degree, provide with formal methods to other courses in the degree, like Statistics, Economy and Finance.
In relation with professional skills, the main goal of the course is to introduce, from a mathematical perspective, the models and methods of quantitative analysis, including methods for decision making.
