This course is an introduction to the mathematical concepts needed to read and produce economics research. The aim is to
develop the basic methodological skills required to analyze and apply economic theory and econometric techniques to the
problems they will study throughout the program. The key topics covered include:
- Analysis
- Constrained and Unconstrained Optimization
- Probability
