Course detail
Application of mathematical and statistical methods
FP-msmPAcad. year: 2022/2023
The subject deepens and complements the theory that students learn from mathematical subjects and puts it in touch with the knowledge of economic subjects. It covers a wide range of optimization problems, statistical methods and mathematical and economical modeling.
The subject is an adjunct to the subjects Mathematics 1, Mathematics 2, and Partition Statistics most commonly needed in applications. It is intended especially for students continuing their Master's degree studies and for students planning to process different types of data in their final papers.
