What you will learn

This course is for absolute beginners in the field of advanced economics.

Students pursuing their graduate and post graduate courses in Economics will benefit the most from this course.

Description

The course is meant for absolute beginners. The students who wish to understand economics texts better but aren't able to understand it because of calculus algebra will better understand texts after doing this course. The course provides intuition behind every mathematical concept taught. The course requires basic understanding (graduation level economics ) of micro and macro economics to understand the course. There are no mathematical prerequisites required.

It was indeed a revelationary course for those who have always struggled with mathematical applications to economics. The tutor adopted a very unique and eye-opening way of understanding maths for economists. However, I wish the course went on to teach matrix algebra and differential equations. But take nothing away from it, I thoroughly enjoyed the course and it did well as an introduction for delving into other topics.

Overall, very good and useful lectures. However, the notation of (x) is confusing and looks like (u), especially when using the chain rule and using both notations of (x) and (u). Thank you,
