Acquired knowledge and practical skills will be applied to modelling dependencies of factors relating to economic phenomena, explaining their relations and solving problems of microeconomic and macroeconomic environment by with simple mathematical methods.

Standard courses of engineering mathematics, microeconomics and macroeconomics on bachelor level.

Not applicable.

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Conditions for awarding course-unit credits:
- active participation in the seminars where the attendance is compulsory,
- completion of a written test in the course of semestr marked at least with
“E”.
Awarding of course-unit is a necessary condition to be admitted to the exam.
The exam has a written and an oral part with the written part being more important. The written part takes two hours and contains the following types of tasks with maximum points awarded in brackets:

1. To make decision on the type of the given economic function(10 points).
2. To define and give the interpretation of the given economic quantity (20 points).
3. Solution to a give task (30 points).
4. Solution to a given task (40 points).

It is recommended the use of own standard calculator in the exam. In calculations also intuitive estimation of values are accepted.
Assessment of the written part:
The assessment of the written part is based on the sum of points acquired from tasks 1.-4. together with fulfilling the following conditions (a). (b) to get marks A-E:
(a) To get at least 11 points in the sum of points from tasks 1 and 2
(b) To get at least 10 points from task 3 and simultaneously 10 points from task 4.
If any task is marked "0" then the student can not obtain grades A,B,C. If the student does not achieve at least 50 points out of 100 or if any other condition is not satisfied, the written part of the exam and the whole exam will be graded as “F” (failed) and the student cannot proceed to the oral part. Grading of the written part is as follows: “A” is awarded for 90–100 points, “B” for 80-89 points, “C” for 70-79 points, “D” for 60-69 points, “E” for 50-59 points.

The written exam is followed by an oral exam which does not take more than 10 minutes. Its main objective is to make the classification more accurate. In the oral exam, the student informed about the results achieved in the individual tasks of the written exam. Possible discrepancies in the written part can be solved in the oral exam. If appropriate, additional questions can be placed, and the student is given time to prepare.

1. Basic principles of economic analysis and modeling
2. Demand and supply
3. Revenue, cost, profit
4. Elasticity
5. Production
6. Utility
7. National income

Not applicable.

The aim of the course is to deal in more detail with the causal substance of economic relations, and to develop abilities and skills necessary to express economic relations by exact means and consequently carry out their analyses.

Attendance at lectures is not controlled. Attendance at exercises (seminars) is compulsory and is regularly checked. A student is obliged to give reasons for his/her absence. If the teacher accepts the reason for the absence (which is completely under his/her competence), he/she will decide about the form of the compensation for the missed lessons.
