ECON 3 Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis

This course covers many of the same basic calculus topics as Math 3, but with the focus on developing an understanding of the mathematical structure of economics, since having mathematical skill is essential to the study of economics. Examples of economic applications of calculus topics include using derivatives to study consumer demand and labor productivity and using integrals to study income distributions.  Additionally, key statistical measures needed for econometrics classes, such as expected value and variance will be introduced.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
