Module Information
For Whom? This module was designed for those with weak maths background. If you did not have A-level maths, or if you are not confident with your maths, or if you want to re-consolidate your understanding of maths, this short course will be very useful for you.Â
Learning Outcomes: After this short course, you will have a basic understanding of the key concepts in quantitative methods (deterministic analysis, stochastic analysis and statistical analysis). It also provides a logical "mind map" to find what you need to know to understand UG and even PG level modules on economics and finance.
