About this simulation

Sixty-minute pre-term refresher that takes incoming MBA students from rusty matrix recall to working facility with vectors, dot products, matrix multiplication, determinants, Cramer rule and the eigen-decomposition of a 2×2 covariance matrix — using the Café del Valle POS dataset as the worked example throughout. Day 2 of MBA Week Zero, one day before the 1306 quant micro bootcamp.

Who it is for

An introductory simulation that assumes no prior knowledge of the subject, designed for undergraduate courses. It also works in vocational and high-school programmes and in onboarding sessions.

How a session runs

  1. The instructor creates a session from the Eureka dashboard and invites the participants.
  2. Participants play 7 rounds. In each one they submit their decisions and the simulation calculates the results.
  3. The simulation can be run in English, Español.
  4. The instructor follows each participant's progress and results from the dashboard, and uses the class results for the debrief.

Decisions participants make

The decisions participants make during the simulation:

  • Numeric answer
  • Pick the best interpretation

What participants track

What participants follow on screen as the rounds go by:

  • Vector norm
  • Your Answer
  • Question History
  • Cumulative Score Toward 21

Subjects covered

Designed for courses in Mathematical Foundations.
