GENERAL OBJECTIVE
The course is in line with the general objective of the course of study to provide economic skills and mathematical-statistical techniques for an adequate understanding of the economic system and the functioning of financial markets. The course, in particular, aims at equipping students with the mathematical tools necessary for understanding economic and financial phenomena.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
To learn the basic concepts and tools of quantitative analysis necessary to interpret and model economic and financial phenomena; to formulate and solve basic problems of modern economics and finance.

EXPECTED RESULTS OF LEARNING
The student is expected to assimilate the fundamental notions of quantitative analysis for analyzing economic and financial phenomena; to be able to correctly set and solve basic problems of modern economics and finance; to be able to communicate effectively on economic and financial issues, using an appropriate mathematical language.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ABILITY
The course provides students with the knowledge and analytical tools needed to understand the main economic and financial phenomena.

ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
The student must be able to interpret and model the main economic and financial phenomena. In particular he/she must be able to build models to formulate and solve basic problems of modern economics and finance.

AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT
The student must be able to independently assess the necessary information, to conduct surveys and to set up quantitative analysis of economical and financial phenomena.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS
The student must be able to communicate effectively on economic and financial issues, using an appropriate mathematical language. The ability to communicate on a multidisciplinary level on economic-financial and mathematical-statistical topics is, in this respect, the main target of the course.

ABILITY TO LEARN
The student must acquire a significant analytical ability and a well-founded quantitative survey method to be able to deal with subsequent teachings.
