Description:

Prerequisite: Economics 111, 112; and FDMAT 112 or Math 119 This course develops the mathematical tools used in the construction and manipulation of economic models. The fact that the fi eld of economics strives to explain how and why people buy, sell, produce, trade, pollute, give to charities, etc., means that we can quantify most of the actions we are interested in. This means that mathematics plays a central role in economics. To be sure, economists can be thought of as, in part, applied mathematicians. Thus, it is essential that economic students develop a facility with the standard mathematical tools of the economist to prepare students for gradate-level economics studies (should they choose that path).
