2. Pre-Requisites
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). Finally, it is also important to know the basic techniques for function representations and in particular the representation of the main functions
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
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.

According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:The subject follows an evaluation system based on the assessment of various training activities and an exam. The student is required to obtain at least a 4 (out of 10) in the final evaluation test to make an average with the grade obtained in the rest of the proposed training activities. Any student may change to the non-continuous assessment mode as long as they have not participated during the class teaching period in assessable activities that together account for at least 50% of the total assessment of the subject and, in that case, they must communicate it before the end of the class period.
Regarding the evaluation in case of illness or other special circumstances (mitigating rules), see article 6 of the Student Evaluation Regulation of the University of Castilla-La Mancha. -
Non-continuous evaluation:The evaluation will be carried out with a final test that will include the specific tests that are considered necessary to evaluate all the competencies of the subject.
Regarding the evaluation in case of illness or other special circumstances (mitigating rules), see article 6 of the Student Evaluation Regulation of the University of Castilla-La Mancha.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Final exam 100% of the subject
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
The evaluation will be carried out on a single written exam, being necessary to pass the subject a minimum score of 5 out of 10.
