Course overview
This course focuses on the mathematical methods and models that are required to understand current economics and to investigate economic models. Topics may include limits, sequences and series, combinatorics, set theory; univariate and multivariate calculus; matrix algebra and systems of linear equations; and applications in economic models.
Course learning outcomes
- A central aim to this course is to increase "mathematical maturity", confidence and familiarity with the types of problems that will be encounted and built upon later
- Use appropriate techniques to solve problems with calculus and linear algebra
- Use Matlab at an introductory level
- Model economic questions as mathematical problems
