Mathematics for Economic and Statistical Analysis
Mathematics is a useful tool in many subjects, and this course is for you who need a little more maths for further studies in economics or statistics. The course is mandatory in the Master's Programme in Economics and the Master's Programme in Statistics .
In this course you learns mathematics that will be useful for further studies in economics or statistics. You learn to use basic methods of analysis in one or multiple variables to solve mathematical and applied problems in for example geometry and economics. You also learn some basic linear algebra, so that you can solve simple problems concerning matrices, vectors and determinants.
Course contents
The course covers elementary functions, derivatives, max and min problems, Taylor's formula and Taylor series, integrals, functions of several variables, partial derivatives, optimization problems with and without constraints, matrices and determinants.
The contents of the course may be used in modelling in a number of fields, for example economy and statistics.
