Modern economics analysis is based on mathematics to a great extent.This class is designed to provide students with the appropriate mathematical tools essential for majors in Economics and similar disciplines. Students planning to pursue graduate studies in Economics are highly encouraged to take this course.Major topics include constrained and unconstrained optimization and comparative static analysis. In all cases the necessary mathematics is reviewed and subsequently applied to problems of economic theory and policy.In this course, particular economic models are not the ends, but the means for illustrating the method of applying mathematical techniques to economic theory in general.
