Students will be evaluated on the satisfactory explanation of the contribution of this body of knowledge to the understanding of a given situation, problem or question, demonstrate the understanding of the theoretical components of this body of knowledge and, where applicable, of another component deemed essential to it. Students will also have to be able to procure an accurate appraisal of the contribution of this body of knowledge.

This course will familiarize students with the application of the methods of calculus to the study of functional models in the field of Social Science. To attain this goal, students will learn to situate the historical context of the development of Calculus I, recognize and describe the characteristics of algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions expressed in symbolic or graphic form, analyze the behavior of a function represented in symbolic or graphic form using an intuitive approach to the concept of limits and define the derivative of a function, to interpret it and apply derivative techniques.

Students will also have to analyze the variations of a function using Calculus I and solve optimization and rate of change problems. This course also ties into identifying concrete situations that lend themselves to study, using concepts applicable to these situations, and using a strategy appropriate to the study of these situations, an objective researched at large by the program.

The aim of this class is to ensure that students are able to:

• Explain the characteristics of the scientific approach used in the social sciences
• Identify a research problem
• Select a research method and technique that correspond to the problem identified
• Produce a data collection instrument based on the research method and technique selected

This course explains the economic foundations of society, which leads them to identify the specific contribution of economics to the understanding of the social organization and to provide a general explanation of the functioning of a mixed-market economy and a free-market economy.

Students will also be required to identify the major schools of thought in the field of economics, measure and interpret economic activity based on the main economic indicators, as part of the overall economic climate, explain economic policies using a model of macroeconomic activity and establish links between economic theory and the current economic situation.

Course description:

In this course, students will identify concrete situations that lend themselves to study, use concepts applicable to these situations and use a strategy appropriate to the study of these situations. This course will attain these elements through an introduction to accounting comprising of, but not limited to, financial statements, accounting for transactions, income statements, turnover, and salaries.

Through the acquisition of basic statistical knowledge, at the end of this course, students will be able to:

• Situate the analysis of data, and more specifically its interpretation, within the scientific approach used in the social sciences
• Present data in satisfactory forms
• Analyze data using various forms of measurement
• Determine the nature and intensity of the link between the variables
• Estimate the parameters of a given population based on the corresponding statistics obtained from a sample.

To demonstrate that students have achieved the different elements in the course, they will be evaluated on:

• The correct use and interpretation of measures of central tendency, dispersion and position, rated, proportions, percentage indices and rations, and of measures of temporal variation
• The plausible identification of the sampling method used based on an observed sample of the target population
• The interval estimation of averages and proportions in a given population, taking confidence levels into account
• The formal verification of the presence of a statistical link between two variables using the chi-square test of independence
• Determination of the strength of the relationship using an appropriate coefficient

In this course, students will be familiarized with the usage of the social science discipline to understand the human phenomena in concrete situations. In this course, students will identify concrete situations that lend themselves to study, use concepts applicable to these situations and use a strategy appropriate to the study of these situations. This course will approach these objectives through concrete situations pertaining to the domain of interpersonal relations and communication. Students will therefore study interpersonal conflicts and exchanges in groups as well as relationships of power and rhetoric.

This course will allow students to apply methods of Linear Algebra to the study of various phenomena of human activity in the context of the social sciences. As such, students will have to be able to situate the historical context of the development of Linear Algebra, use matrices to solve concrete problems, apply different methods of solving systems of linear equations, use vector operations to solve concrete problems, and establish connections between vector geometry and linear algebra. 

Students will also be required to apply the methods of Linear Algebra to the study of line and plane geometry and solve optimization problems using methods of solving systems of linear inequations with two or more variables. This course will also complement the student’s ability to thoroughly analyze a human phenomenon, an ability touched upon later in Management.
