Several applications will be discussed in class to demonstrate the relevance of these techniques to economics and finance. In addition, some basic application of the learned techniques will be illustrated on Excel (mainly), and R. Syllabus

ECON 3410 Fundamental Methods of Mathematical Economics (undergraduate)

The knowledge of fundamental mathematics is essential for economic analysis. This course will equip the students with basic mathematical tools for economic analysis. The course discusses the basics of three broad topics in Mathematical Economics: Linear models and Matrix algebra, Comparative-Static Analysis and differential calculus, and Optimization. Syllabus

ECON 2200 Elementary Microeconomics (undergraduate)

This course introduces students to how individuals, firms, and governments make decisions under scarcity and incentives. The course focuses on real-world applications of supply and demand, consumer and producer behavior, and basic public policy, emphasizing intuition and analytical thinking rather than advanced mathematics. Students learn how prices are formed, how markets allocate resources, and when markets succeed or fail. Throughout the course, students develop tools to evaluate everyday economic choices, taxes, subsidies, and regulations.
