Analysis of the Dependence of the Study Results of the Subjects Microeconomics on Mathematics

Original language description

Mathematics as a subject of study is usually said to be important as a base for other economic subjects. Problems with understanding mathematics can evoke consequential difficulties with understanding economic theories inferences. The aim of this paper is to compare the study results of Microeconomics and Mathematics subjects of the bachelor students from the College of Polytechnics Jihlava, Czech Republic and find out if there exist any dependence between the results in these subjects. Both subjects belong to the study programme “Economics and Management” and study fields “Finance and Management” and “Travel and Tourism” and they are obligatory for the full time and part time forms of study. The success of students in both subjects was examined depending on the form of study (full-time or part-time), study field (“Finance and Management” and “Travel and Tourism”), and gender. The comparison is based on the data for the period 2007-2015. To find out if the students with problems in Mathematics (no credits or “F” mark) could have also problems with Microeconomics Chi-square test and correlation coefficients were used. The results showed that students having better results in Mathematics achieved also better results in Microeconomics. According to our results we can prove that at least for Microeconomics the mathematical knowledge are necessary.
