QUANTITATIVE METHODS - BMEGT20M011

The basic aim of the subject is to bring the knowledge acquired during the BSc degree to a same level, and in addition to acquaint the students with the basic mathematical knowledge and methods on which the theories and methods of business life are based. The aim of the subject is for the students to get to know the theoretical background in such depth that they can later use it independently, creatively in their further studies, as well as in practice.

1. Know the generally used definitions of probability studay, mathematical statistic,
2. Know the axiom system, principles of probability studay, operations with events,
3. Know the most important theoretical distributions and probability definitions with them,
4. Know the steps of mathematical statistical data analysis, the statistical conclusion methods,
5. Know the essence of descriptive statistical processing, its indicators, the way in which the confidence interval is determined, its meaning, the general steps of statistical hypothesis tests, the practical application of the tests,
6. Know the principles, indicators and steps of correlation and regression analysis,
7. Know the basic concepts of decision theory, decision classes, criterias, problems of team decision, application of rank methods.

1. Using the learned theories and methods, identify, systematize and analyze facts and basic connections, formulate independent conclusions, critical remarks, makes decision-making proposals, and makes decisions in routine and partly unknown - domestic and international - environments.
2. Are able to apply techniques for solving economic / technical / technological problems, problem solving methods, their application conditions and limitations.
3. Are able to calculate economic/product/technological indicators and from that draw conclusions.

1. Have the ability of problemdetection- and solving,
2. Are constructive, cooperative and initiative in case of teamwork,
3. Seek to cooperation in multidisciplinary teamwork.

1. Are suitable to work independently (to choose methodology, technique; to organize, plan, manage the work; to collect, organize, analyze, evaulate data; general and professional improvement),
2. Apply systematic way in thinking,
3. Take responsibility for analysis, conclusion and decision.

Lectures, calculation tasks, communication in written and oral form, usage of IT tools and techiques, optional independent and in team performed tasks.

The assessment of the learning outcomes formulated in point 2.2 takes place in the form of three midterms and optional partial performance evaluation (active participation).

1. Performance assessment: During the semester, the learning of the curriculum is checked with three midterm tests. All three of the midterm tests materials are the material from the weeks before. Midterm tests are from theoretical questions, tests and task solutions. Only the published formulas collection, tables and calculators, not exceeding the level of the scientific calculator, may be used in the midterm test. Other supporting tools (notebooks, computers, mobile phones, etc.) cannot be used. A mobile phone or other communication device that is turned on during the midterm test must not be with students. Manual notes or additions can not be in the formulas collection or tables. The formulas collection used in midterm test are checked one by one. If notes are found in the formulas collection, the student is missed the midterm test. 2. Partial performance assessment (active participation): the subject's knowledge, optional performance assessment, method of completion and the level of gathered scores are determined by the subject's lecturer. The gathered score in a partial performance assessment for each student shall not exceed 25% of the maximum score of the summary performance assessment for that part of the curriculum. 3. There is no minimum score for summary performance assessments, and together with all midterm tests (plus the score obtained in the partial performance assessment) the 50% limit required to gather the term grade must be reached.

• 1. summary performance assessment: 25
• 2. summary performance assessment: 35
• 3. summary performance assessment: 40
• active participation: 25
• total: 100

1) After the periods with classes, the three midterm tests can be replaced/retaken together, in one repeat test. The result gathered at the rateking will count as the final result. Students who have not gathered the midterm grade after the replacement, will not fulfil the subject as there is no repeat of the repeat test. 2) The active participation cannot be replaced, improved or otherwise replaced.

Consulted with the Faculty Student Representative Committee, approved by the Vice Dean for Education, valid from: 08.05.2023.

To achieve the learning outcomes set out in section 2.2, the course consists of the following areas and topics. In the syllabuses of the courses advertised in each semester, these elements are scheduled according to the calendar and other conditions.
