The Scientific Method is the process by which scientists, collectively and over time, construct an accurate representation of the world.
Mathematics is used to model phenomena. They provide a tool and a framework to represent complex situations. In Economics, they adopt a simplified version of reality that keeps the most important features of what we mean to explain. Critical to modeling are Calculus and Probability Theory.
Statistics is a form of mathematical analysis that uses quantified models and representations for experimental data or real-life studies. Statistics studies methodologies to gather, review, analyze and draw conclusions from data. Here is a review of basic concepts you should know to navigate through this site.
Data rich fields require data management, analysis and visualization. Here is an introduction to some tools.
The study of human behavior requires knowldege of biological mechanisms: what we do depends on how we feel or how we perceive our environment. These are affected by hormones or the way our cells communicate with each other. Economic decision-making relies heavily on these mechanisms. Here we discuss how brain processing relates to behavior.
Biological mechanisms are consistenctly found to strongly affect cognition and decision-making. This section reviews basic knowledge about biology
