Qualifications
- Know the basic algebraic rules for matrix operations and can point out the differences from the algebra of numbers.
- Know the basic notions of financial economics.
- Explain the basic notions of financial economics in different ways.
- Can graphically demonstrate the solutions of linear equation systems with two unknowns.
- Use the methods of financial economics in a correct and purposeful way to solve typical problems concerning interest, compounding, time values, annuities, investments, repayments, interest rates and returns.
- Use matrix calculations to solve problems concerning input-output-analyses and multistep production processes.
- Use methods to solve linear equation systems systematically.
- Solve problems of linear optimization graphically or algebraically and interpret the results in the context.
- Calculate and interpret marginal effects.
- Use the Lagrange multiplier method to solve nonlinear optimization problems and use the envelope-theorem to interpret the results in the form of a sensitivity analysis.
- Can derive the geometry of a linear equation system with more than two unknowns.
- Can interpret the final tableau of the simplex-algorithm in the form of a sensitivity analysis and identify the changes in the solutions if one of the active restrictions changes.
- Know the central mathematical techniques for economic analysis that are often used in business applications.
- Understand the economical content of the assumptions used to derive economical laws and describe these assumptions in words and mathematical symbols.
- Use the concepts discussed in a correct and purposeful way and interpret the results in the context.
- Use pocket calculators to find the results needed.
- Apply standard learning techniques in abstract contexts so that they get used to working with scientific publications on their own.
- Can analyze economic or business cases using mathematical models.
- Can propose economic laws and check those laws using mathematical techniques.
- Can critically check the contents of mathematical models while planning economical action or deriving economic laws.
- Build up skills to argue rationally in a scientific environment.
- Appreciate the skill to argue rationally in a scientific environment.
- Cooperate while working out problems or while preparing themselves for the final exam.
- Judge arguments critically, considering whether they are sound, reasonable and consistent.
- Argue in a precise and rational way in their comments.
- Internalize the use of standard learning and working techniques to learn on their own.
