Description
Constrained optimization via Lagrange and Kuhn-Tucker conditions; implicit functions and implicit differentiation; comparative static methods applied to models such as utility maximization and least-cost production; homogeneous functions; concave and convex functions; compounding and exponential functions; economic models involving integration; differential equations.
Prerequisites
- Prerequisite(s): ECON 1001 or FYSM 1003 with a grade of C- or higher; and ECON 1401 and ECON 1402 with a grade of C- or higher in each, (or an equivalent department-approved MATH course pair with a grade of C- or higher in each); and a combined grade point average in ECON 1401 and ECON 1402 of 6.50 or higher.
Conditions and arrangements
- Prerequisite(s): ECON 1001 or FYSM 1003 with a grade of C- or higher; and ECON 1401 and ECON 1402 with a grade of C- or higher in each, (or an equivalent department-approved MATH course pair with a grade of C- or higher in each); and a combined grade point average in ECON 1401 and ECON 1402 of 6.50 or higher.
