Mathematical Economics

Designed to give a background in economic theory plus the mathematical tools needed to analyze and develop additional theoretical constructions. Emphasis is on the abstract theory itself.

Course Requirements:

1. Economics:
1. ECON 1110 or 1130
2. ECON 1210
3. ECON 1630
4. At least three other 1000-level economics courses. Of these three courses, at least two must be chosen from the "mathematical-economics" group. This group comprises ECON 1170, 1470, 1640, 1750, 1850, 1860, and 1870.
2. Mathematics:
1. At least two calculus courses through MATH 0180 or its equivalent
2. Linear algebra (MATH 0520 or 0540)
3. Either option A or option B as follows:
• Option A is MATH 1610, MA 1620, plus one course from the "advanced mathematics" group (see below).
• Option B is APMA 1650, plus two courses from the "advanced mathematics" group (see below).

The "advanced mathematics" group comprises MATH 1010, 1110, 1120, 1130, and 1140.
