Course description and aims

This course studies basic mathematics for management sciences and economics. The contents include Euclidean space, metric space, topological space, convergence of sequences, continuous functions, convex sets, and convex functions.

Knowledge and ability through this course will help students to solve real problems in management sciences and economics.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. Understand fundamental properties of Euclidean space and can solve application problems.
2. Understand fundamental properties of metric space and topological space, and can solve application problems.
3. Understand fundamental properties of convergence of sequences and continuous functions, and can solve application problems.
4. Understand fundamental properties of convex sets and convex functions, and can solve application problems.

Keywords
