Content
This course reviews the prerequisites in mathematics for the courses of the certificates and masters in statistics. 
On particular, fundamental concepts of combinatory analysis, matrix algebra, analysis of single and multiple variables functions (including limits, derivatives and integrals). 
Teaching methods
Formal lectures and exercices sessions onsite.
Evaluation methods
Written exam of 2 hours, closed-book, with the use of a basic calculator (single-line display).
The exam mainly consists of exercises to solve but may include theoretical questions.
A non-mandatory exemption test is organized at the beginning of the semester, and a mandatory evaluation will be held at the end of the course outside of the exam period. Both evaluations are at the same level as the exam and are conducted in a similar manner. Students who score at least 14/20 on the exemption test or at least 12/20 on the evaluation outside of the exam period may be exempted from the final exam.
