Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
Knowledge
• Define the function of one variable.
• Find the domain and range and basic properties.
• Draw graphs of elementary functions.
• Compute limits and derivates of functions.
• Find the properties of no elementary functions a draw theirs graphs.
• Obtain easier imagine about economic functions.
• Order knowledge about vectors in the plain.
• Identify the types of matrices.
• Solve the system of linear equations.
Comprehension
• Express economic dependences using a mathematical function.
