Mathematical Economics

The objective of this course is to develop the mathematical tools necessary for the study of intermediate micro- and macro-economic theory and the advanced electives in economics. The principal focus will be the calculus of multivariate functions (including total and partial differentiation), unconstrained and constrained optimization of multivariate functions, and implicit and inverse function rules. Time permitting, additional topics will be introduced. Economics majors and minors must take this course (or Math 233) prior to, or concurrently with, Econ 4011. Students who have taken, or are taking, Math 233 are encouraged to take this course as well. PLEASE NOTE: 1. Students taking this course, and not Math 233, must take Econ 493 for a letter grade. P/F and audit are grade options ONLY for students who've previously completed Math 233. 2. All grade option choices must be finalized by Thursday, January 27, 2022. 3. The last day to add or drop the course (with a "D") is Thursday, January 27, 2022. There is no option to withdraw (i.e., take a "W") from this course, except in the case of illness or emergency. 4. The final exam will occur on the last day of class, per the course syllabus. Prerequisites: Econ 1011, Econ 1021 and Math 132. 5. The final exam will occur on the last day of class, per the course syllabus. Prerequisites: Econ 1011 and Econ 1021, and Math 132.
