| Overall Educational Objective |
Develop mathematical tools and techniques that enhance students' ability to analyze and solve economic problems |
| Course Description |
This course provides an introduction to calculus with an emphasis on applications in economics and business. Topics include differentiation, integration, functions of multiple variables, comparative statics, and optimization techniques. |
Course Learning Outcomes and Competences
Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) Compute definite and indefinite integrals, apply integration techniques, and use integral calculus to analyze economic problems such as consumer and producer surplus;
2) Differentiate functions of multiple variables, compute partial derivatives, and apply these concepts to comparative statics and elasticity analysis in economics
3) Apply differentiation of integrals, and linear approximations to analyze small changes in models
4) Solve unconstrained optimization problems using first- and second-order conditions and apply these methods to economic decision-making
5) Use Lagrange multipliers to solve optimization problems
