Course Topics
The course starts with propositional logic, students learn about statements, logical connectives, and the construction of truth tables. The course then introduces set theory, including different ways to represent sets as well as the operations of union and intersection. A section on number systems explores the natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, and real numbers, highlighting their properties and relationships. Finally, the course examines key types of functions, focusing on linear, quadratic, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic functions, and developing an understanding of their algebraic forms and graphical behavior.

Educational objectives
ILO (Intended Learning Outcomes) ILO 1 - Knowledge and understanding ILO 1.1 Basic mathematical concepts (sets and operations on sets, relationships and their properties, general functions, numbers and elementary equations/inequalities) ILO 1.5 Mathematical terminology in English. ILO 2 - Ability to apply knowledge and understanding ILO 2.1 Basic concepts useful for attending courses in economics, business administration and management

Assessment
The written test (ILO 1-2) at the end of the preparatory course serves to assess students' initial knowledge in mathematics. If the assessment is negative, the student will be assigned additional educational requirements (OFA) to be fulfilled within the first study year.

Evaluation criteria
Correctness of answers in the written test.
