Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be made familiar with the fundamentals of probability theory, decision-making under risk and index numbers, and will learn how to use its methods to solve economic problems. After completion of this course students will be prepared to study economic topics working with uncertainty.

Prerequisites

Fundamentals of linear algebra and mathematical analysis.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course contains lectures that explain basic principles, problems and methodology of the discipline, and exercises that promote the practical knowledge of the subject presented in the lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

COURSE-UNIT CREDIT: The course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions:
- participation on courses
- at least 15 point achieved in control tests till the end of 13th week

EXAM: The exam has a written form.

The mark, which corresponds to the total sum of points achieved (max 100 points), consists of:
- points achieved in control tests
- points achieved in exam

The grades and corresponding points:
A (100-90), B (89-83), C (82-76), D (75-69), E (68-60), F (59-0).
