ECC3840 - Mathematical economics

Leader: Associate Professor Christis Tombazos

Offered

Clayton Second semester 2007 (Day)

Synopsis

The unit will cover, in mathematical terms, many of the areas treated more intuitively in first-year microeconomics, eg consumer demand, the theory of the firm, equilibrium and Pareto optimum. However, a significant portion of the lectures will deal with topics not covered earlier, such as non-linear programming, game theory, and dynamic optimisation.
