課程概述

The objective of this course is to acquaint students with the fundamental mathematical logic and tools for formal economic analysis (including both theoretical and empirical economics). This class consists of four parts. In the first, we will study basic notions from set theory. The second part will be devoted to univariate calculus and optimization. The third part will cover linear algebra. In the last part, we will learn techniques to solve multivariate optimization problems. Upon completion of the course, students are expected to know basic knowledge of calculus of functions of several variables, including calculating partial derivatives of explicit and implicit functions, solutions of problems of unconditional and conditional optimization, and methods for comparative static analysis. As a result, students will develop the problem-solving skills through a large number of examples and economic applications.

課程要求
• Class attendance and participation are not mandatory, but that will be of help since you can discuss with me face to face. I will consider them if you are likely to receive a failing grade.
• Homework assignments must be submitted on time in class. Assignments submitted up to 24 hours late will receive a 10-point penalty. No assignments will be accepted after that without a valid, documented excuse.
• Group work and student collaborations are allowed and encouraged, but you must submit your own assignment.
• Official university regulations on cheating and plagiarism will be enforced according to the University’s Code of Student Conduct.
• If you have a documented disability that requires academic accommodations, please let me know as soon as possible. I will work with you to accommodate your request.
