AA017005 MATHEMATICS FOR ECONOMICS
4 Credits

Course Learning At the end of this course, students are able to:
Outcomes
(1) Solve problems in economics using a range of
mathematical techniques.
(2) Formulate testable hypotheses on a wide array of
theoretical economic topics.
(3) Relate mathematics and economics to gain proficiency
in each to model economic questions as mathematical
problems.

Synopsis of Course Mathematics and economics are complementary disciplines.
Contents Mathematical modelling is particularly helpful in analysing a
number of aspects of economic theory. The course is
specifically designed to demonstrate to the student the
importance of the use of mathematical techniques in
theoretical economics and enable the student to develop
skills in mathematical modelling. The module will cover a
range of relevant mathematical tools and techniques that are
typically required for postgraduate study in economics. The
aim is to deepen and extend the mathematical preparation of
postgraduate students considering technical modules
through rigorous presentation of the various technical
concepts and their applications.
