Contents:

The course covers the following topics:

  • Basic mathematical vocabulary: Definition, Theorem, Proof,...
  • Sums and Products
  • Sets
  • Logic
  • Techniques of proof
  • Functions
  • sup, inf, max, min
Learning Outcomes:

After completing this class the student will have the ability to:

  • Understand and use fundamental mathematical vocabulary.
  • Recognize and describe different proof techniques and apply them to simple problems.
  • Define and explain several mathematical concepts (e.g. function, sequences, convergence etc.) and give examples.
  • Analyse and structure (mathematical) problems.
  • Read and comprehend simple mathematical texts.
  • Present and communicate mathematical problems and their solutions.

Apart from that, the class will contribute to the ability to:

  • Participate in group discussions/team work.
Attendance requirements:

Since this is a course with an immanent examination character (PI), attendance is mandatory. Students can miss two units without excuse, absenteeism in further units must be excused / justified by email. This applies regardless of the learning mode (presence mode or distance teaching via MS TEAMS).
Teaching/learning method(s):

The purpose of the class is to give an introduction to basic mathematical concepts and methods as a preparation for the mathematics lectures of the Master in Quantitative Finance curriculum.

The class is mainly taught as a combination of lectures and exercises with homework assignments. Students present their solutions which will be discussed in the group.
Assessment:
 
  • two mini tests (45% each)
  • homework assignments and presentation (10%)

There will be no opportunity to retake the mini tests.

Detailed information will be provided in the first unit of the course.
