Objectives of the Course

Mathematics is a universal language. For this reason, it is extremely important to establish and solve the mathematical model of the problem that arises in any field. Therefore, our main goal is to provide basic mathematical knowledge, to develop mathematical thinking, and to train individuals who can analyze complex problems faced by finance managers with a systematic logic and search for solutions by applying some techniques when necessary.
