Założenia (opisowo): | (tylko po angielsku) Basic IT tools knowledge gained in secondary school, knowledge of the mathematics gained during Linear Algebra course and dirst part of Mathematical Analysis course |
Skrócony opis: |
The goal of this course is to present participants basics of IT technology applied in everyday work of an economist. During laboratories students will achieve knowledge and skills of using selected IT tools (advanced Excel, Matlab, Mathematica) and applying appropriate tool to certain economic problems solving. Participation in the course requires basic knowledge of IT and mathematics (scope of secondary school and courses of Linear Algebra and Mathematical Analysis held in the first semester) and ability of using Excel spreadsheet. Knowledge gained by students during this course will be assessed with help of one mid-term test and final test. |

Efekty uczenia się: |
Upon completion of this course student will be able to: - Assess purposefulness of particular mathematical schema application for solving certain problem from domain of economics - Choose appropriate IT tool (Excel, Mathematica, Matlab) to apply selected mathematical schema for solving the problem in practice and represent appropriately this problem in selected tool - Perform sequence of operations aimed at gaining valid results - Conduct analysis of achieved results and interpret its economic meaning KU03 |
Metody i kryteria oceniania: |
Knowledge and skills of students participating in this course will be assessed during - Mid-term test organized after completion of Excel and Mathematica modules - Final test The main goal of the mid-term test will be to assess knowledge and skills of students achieved in the first part of the course during modules held with Excel and Mathematica. Second aim of this test will be to show students possible fields of improvements before final test. Mid-term test will consist of two problems embracing topics covered by the lecturer during the first part of the course. Problems are supposed to be solved with help of a computer with appropriate software. Main criteria for the assessment will be correctness and conciseness of the solution. Final test will comprise of 4 problems, which are supposed to be solved with help of Excel, Mathematica and Matlab in the front of a computer. |
