Prerequisites
The student should have knowledge of high school mathematics - especially basic knowledge of functions, solving systems of equations and mathematical symbols.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
The aim of the course is to provide the student with a set of mathematical knowledge as a tool for more efficient and qualified business management, managerial decision-making or optimization in the creation of a marketing strategy.

- solve basic optimization tasks (in particular, calculate the value of key parameters when maximizing profit or minimizing costs);
- work with the time value of money;
- define advanced economic and business problems using the language of mathematics and then solve them using freely available software.
