Prerequisites
Knowledge of algebraic calculus.
Objectives
At the end of this module the students will be able to analyse, interpret and formulate problems in Linear Algebra and projects with networks, and have obtained the mathematical skills that will allow the extrapolation of mathematical problems to economic and social realities.
Program
PROJECT ANALYSIS WITH NETWORKS: 1. Introduction to Microsoft Project 2. CPM and PERT 3. Financial analysis
LINEAR ALGEBRA: 1.Matrices(definition, types of matrices, matrix arithmetic, rank of a matrix, Gaussian elimination and systems of linear equations); 2. Determinants (definition, properties, Laplace expansion, The adjoint and inverse matrices, Cramer's rule and systems of linear equations).
