M.Phil. - Mathematical Methods
Introduction
The mathematics course is intended to provide students with knowledge of mathematical techniques that are important in economics, particularly those required for the first-year MPhil courses in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and Econometrics.
The Mathematics for Economics course, held during the two weeks before the start of Michaelmas Term covers foundations and basic techniques in mathematics and probability. Preparatory notes and exercises covering the most basic material that is prerequisite for the course are sent to students two months in advance, for them to work on before they attend the course.
The Mathematical Methods course in Michaelmas Term follows on directly from the introductory Mathematics for Economics course. The topics are Static Optimisation and Dynamic Optimisation.
Taught on the MPhil in Economics
