Educational objectives The main objective of the course is to provide the mathematical basis for understanding and formalizing the economic, financial and business subjects covered by the degree course as well as the quantitative tools necessary for the development of the related applications.
The course covers topics that are usually part of the Mathematics program carried out in scientific high schools or experimental institutes with quantitative guidelines but enriches their contents with demonstrations and theoretical considerations aimed at making the subject less mnemonic and less mechanical and at the same time more easily accessible to those with a different education, too.
The course assumes the knowledge of some preliminary topics of Set Theory, Algebra and Analytic Geometry and deals in particular with the following topics: resolution of systems of linear equations; study of the real function of a real variable; integral calculation; introduction to the study of real functions of several real variables.
A. Knowledge and understanding
Students who pass the exam will know the definitions, concepts and methods of calculation object of the program, but above all the logical-intuitive reasoning, the demonstrations and the geometric interpretations necessary for the understanding of their concrete meaning and for their application. In particular, they will know: the definition of a system of linear equations and the fundamental theorem for its solution; the definition of real function of a real variable and the characteristics of the different types of functions; the concepts of limit, derivative and integral and the relative theorems, properties and methods of calculation; the definition of real function of several real variables and the calculation of partial derivatives.
B. Applied knowledge and understanding
Students who pass the exam will know how to set up and solve a system of linear equations and will be able to discuss the result when a given parameter changes. They will be able to study the main "characters" of a function (such as, for example, existence, sign, behavior at extremes, continuity, derivability, monotonicity, concavity and convexity, integrability), to graphically represent the behavior and resolve some geometric problems connected. Finally, they will be able to calculate the partial derivatives of a real function of several real variables.
C. Making judgment
Students will develop the aptitude for mathematical reasoning, the ability to use formal language, the ability to argue the validity of a result through a rigorous demonstration and the ability to interpret and explain a phenomenon through a graphical representation.
D. Communication skills
The exam consists of a written test and an oral test. Students who pass the exam will then be able to solve the exercises assigned during the written test but also discuss the carrying out of the exercises. In particular, they will be able to motivate the methods of calculation used and justify and interpret the results obtained through an explicit reference to the theoretical topics covered by the program.
E. Learning skills
The students will have the necessary mathematical bases to support the other quantitative area exams included in the three-year degree course, but also the tools useful for formalizing, understanding, explaining and solving some simple problems of the teachings of other areas.

Educational objectives The Monetary Economics and Policy course aims at teaching the main elements of a contemporary monetary economy. First of all, students are introduced to monetary and financial relations through simplified accounting schemes. They then learn the individual choices of the main institutional sectors of the economy (households, firms, financial intermediaries and public sector) and the market mechanisms though which the behaviour of individual agents is made mutually compatible. Last, they deepen the analysis of monetary policy and study the behaviour of the central banks of the main industrialized countries. The knowledge of a contemporary monetary economy requires to understand the functioning of some important institutions (starting from the central bank and monetary and financial markets), to master analytical instruments and to comprehend the actual working of different monetary policy regimes. The acquisition of all the tools that are necessary to achieve the teaching targets is guaranteed by specific sections of the program. Particular attention is placed on the actual functioning of the markets for money, bank liquidity, securities and credit. A specific part of the course is devoted to the actual realization of monetary policy. In this way, students can learn both the basic theoretical notions, which are useful to understand the real economic world and which are necessary for those who wish to continue the study of economics, and the actual functioning of money and financial markets, of particular importance for those who are interested in finance and wish to enter the labour market after the Laurea.
Acquired knowledge
Students passing the exam know the functioning of a contemporary monetary economy. They hence know the way money and financial markets operate, as well as the behaviour of the central banks of the main industrialized countries. These students master the basic terminology and the basic accounting of a contemporary monetary economy; they understand the way households allocate savings and financial intermediaries decide on the composition of both sides of their balance sheets, the investment choices by firms and the financing of accumulation, the variables explaining the financial behaviour of the government and the concrete realization of monetary policy. Specific knowledge refers to the elements underlying the dynamics of financial asset prices, both in spot and in forward markets, and the determination of short-term and long-term interest rates. The markets for derivatives are known at an elementary level. Students know the construction and the meaning of the yield curve, the re-equilibrating mechanisms of money and financial markets, the relation between the equilibrium of the financial system and macroeconomic equilibrium. Finally, they know the transmission mechanism of monetary policy, in closed and open economies, the existing monetary policy regimes and the cumulative endogenous dynamics triggered by financial phenomena.
Acquired skills
