On this module, you’ll deepen your understanding of the key mathematical techniques used in economic analysis by applying them to real-world scenarios. By the end, you’ll feel confident using these skills on your own.
You’ll also learn to understand the economic principles covered in other modules, along with the mathematical foundations of the statistical and econometric methods you’ll come across later in your BSc course.
Module learning outcomes
- Evaluate appropriateness of mathematical tools to economic problems
- Develop arguments using mathematical notation and terminology to address economic problems
- Structure coherent arguments and proofs using the formalised language of mathematics.
- Differentiate between mathematical methods and be able to apply them appropriately.
