Este manual se propone cubrir plenamente los temas de álgebra lineal que requieren los profesionales y estudiantes de Ciencias Económicas como base para el desarrollo de otras áreas como la investigación de operaciones, entre otras. Para ello se presentan los conceptos básicos de matrices, determinantes, sistemas de ecuaciones lineales. Ademas, se incluye talleres para desarrollar en Matlab, con el fin de fortalecer los conceptos básicos, así como ejemplos de aplicación y ejercicios relativos a temas económicos y financieros.
Se trata de un manual basado en la experiencia docente de la autora con un enfoque claramente práctico y aplicado y de fácil comprensión en su parte teórica. Incluye todas las demostraciones, de manera que aquellos alumnos de carreras técnicas puedan acoger la obra con total interés, pero, por otro lado, su estructuración y cualidades pedagógicas hacen que puedan evitarse la mayoría de ellas sin perder la comprensión de cuánto se expone, haciéndolo asequible también para alumnos de carreras relacionadas con las Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales y, en general, con las Ciencias Sociales.
The importance of this volume is that it addresses the major pedagogical issues that inevitably arise in the context of entrepreneurship education. It represents a valuable source for those involved in the training and development of entrepreneurial skills and initiative. Economic Outlook and Business Review Can entrepreneurship be taught? Is it an art or a science? How is entrepreneurship learned? Another masterpiece by the European masters Fayolle and Klandt, this volume based on the 2003 Grenoble Conference will be useful for years to come, among educators and policymakers alike, especially those open to the emerging paradigm. Léo-Paul Dana, University of Canterbury, New Zealand This book discusses paradigmatic changes in the field of entrepreneurship education in response to economic, political and social needs, and the consequential need to reassess, redevelop and renew curricula and methods used in teaching entrepreneurship. Traditional and new questions and concerns are addressed, including: the development of business schools towards entrepreneurship education best-practice methods of learning and teaching entrepreneurship both inside and outside the classroom the design of effective teaching frameworks and tools the development of entrepreneurial behaviours and attitudes in students teaching the design and launch of new businesses. The issue of assessing the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education is also raised. A theoretical and methodological framework is used to measure the impact and effectiveness of entrepreneurship education programmes on the attitudes and behaviours of students. Now more than ever, the book argues, research in the field of entrepreneurship education has to be encouraged and facilitated, and should drive the activity of entrepreneurship education providers. As such, this fascinating book aims to provide researchers, practitioners, teachers and advanced students engaged in the field of entrepreneurship with relevant and up-to-date insights into international research programmes in entrepreneurship education.
The book aims at showing the state-of-the-art in the field of modeling and applications in mathematics education. This is the first volume to do this. The book deals with the question of how key competencies of applications and modeling at the heart of mathematical literacy may be developed; with the roles that applications and modeling may play in mathematics teaching, making mathematics more relevant for students.
