Math Camp

Catalog description

This 25 lectures and 13 recitations course - which counts zero credits towards the MSc Economics - revises mathematical background for the Master of Science in Economics. Prerequisites are a knowledge of Calculus. Beginning with a review of univariate differential calculus and optimization, the discussion moves to the basics of linear algebra, multivariate differential calculus and tools related to optimization of functions. While this course is not a study of pure mathematics, several results will be presented with rigorous proofs.
