Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In this lecture we will introduce you to the basic mathematical tools for solving economic models. Topics include sets and limits, continuity, intermediate value theorem, differentiability, convexity, Taylor approximation, implicit function theorem, inverse functions, unconstrained maximization, continuity of the maximum, envelope theorem, constrained optimization, and fixed point theorems.
Assessment and permitted materials
The assessment is based on midterm and final exam and home works, each count 1/3 to the final grade.
