Learning outcomes:
Mathematics provides the essential tools and aids for almost all applications in the field of business administration and is thus, a central component of business administration education. After successfully completing thsi course, students will: • be able to model and solve problems in the field of analysis. • have mastered the basic techniques of differential and integral calculus. • be able to apply differential calculus to determine extreme values, both for functions of one or more variables. • have mastered basic concepts of financial mathematics with regard to interest, annuity and sinking fund calculations. In particular, the comparison and evaluation of capital flows using various models. • Students will have advanced knowledge in the field of linear algebra. In particular, the basic features of matrix calculation and their use in modeling business processes (e.g. production processes). • Techniques for solving linear systems of equations. • Understanding of the possible applications of Operations Research (OR) in operational decision-making processes. • Analytical methods to solve linear optimization problems and skills for the economic interpretation of solutions • Using standard software to solve linear optimization problems. • Scientific work and the ability to abstract.

Teaching methods/Media:
Lecture and discussion in a large group using transparencies (projector) and the blackboard (theory and example calculations). The lecture will be supplemented by exercises and tutorials. A large number of exercise sheets covering the wide range topics in this module will be provided. Afterwards, the solutions will be discussed with the students. Both the lecture notes and the exercise sheets will be available to students in electronic form.
