Mathematics for Economics – I | Eco. Hons. | Rajasthan University

Welcome to Mathematics for Economics – I, a comprehensive course designed for Economics Honours students of Rajasthan University. This course covers the mathematical concepts and techniques essential for understanding economics, with a focus on building strong conceptual foundations and developing problem-solving skills.

One of the biggest advantages of this course is its lifetime validity. Mathematics is a subject in which concepts learned today can be useful throughout your academic journey. Suppose you are studying in the second semester or a later semester and find it difficult to understand differentiation, integration, partial derivatives, or other mathematical concepts. You can return to this course, revisit the relevant recorded lectures, and strengthen your understanding whenever you need to. This course can also serve as a valuable resource for students preparing for CUET-PG, UGC NET Economics, MA Economics entrance examinations, RBI Grade B, and other competitive examinations that require a strong foundation in mathematical concepts. Whether you want to clear a doubt, revise the basics before an examination, or practise important concepts again after months or years, you can revisit the lectures at your convenience. Instead of treating Mathematics as a subject to study only for one semester, make this course a long-term learning resource that supports your academic growth and examination preparation. Purchase once and revisit the concepts whenever you need them, with lifetime course validity.

The course covers Sets, Relations and Functions, Differential Calculus, Integral Calculus, Matrix Algebra and Determinants, along with important applications in Economics. The syllabus is organised into four units to help you study systematically and prepare effectively for your examinations.
