Mathematics for Economics – Basics

Mathematics is the language of modern economics, yet many students find it intimidating. This course is designed to change that. Mathematics for Economics – Basics explains the essential mathematical tools every economics student needs, in simple, clear, step-by-step language, with no prior advanced knowledge required.

Each concept is built from the ground up and connected to how it is actually used in economic analysis, whether it’s finding marginal cost and marginal revenue, optimizing profit, calculating consumer surplus, or solving systems of equations in market models.

What you will learn

• Set Theory: Sets, operations on sets, and Venn diagrams
• Relations and Functions: Types of relations and functions, and how economic variables relate to each other
• Permutation and Combination: Counting techniques and their applications
• Differentiation: Rules of derivatives, rates of change, and applications such as marginal analysis and optimization
• Integration: Basic techniques of integration and applications such as total cost, total revenue, and consumer and producer surplus
• Matrices and Determinants: Matrix operations, determinants, inverse of a matrix, and solving linear equations

Who is this course for?

This is a basic course for every economics student, whether you are studying at UG or PG level or preparing for an exam such as:
