Overview
Mathematical tools are an important part of economic analysis. The main purpose of this course is to introduce students to advanced mathematical techniques used in theoretical and applied economic analysis. In addition, the course will provide a stepping stone to Honours programs in economics and related disciplines and to other … For more content click the Read More button below.
This course gives students a working knowledge of basic analysis, topology, and static and dynamic optimisation techniques applied in economics. Topics include logic and set theory, topological principles in Euclidean spaces, properties of real-valued functions (continuity, concavity, quasi-concavity), differentiation in multi-dimensional Euclidean spaces, classical optimisation with and without constraints, comparative statics, and envelope theorems. Mathematical techniques are illustrated with mainstream theoretical applications such as consumer theory and game theory.
