- Synopsis:
-
The course Mathematical Methods in Economics combines both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Theoretical knowledge is necessary to formulate a mathematical model and subsequently to solve decision problems and optimal management of economic processes. Practical knowledge is trained in solving specific situations on examples, where students are introduced to specific methods and techniques of economic and mathematical data analysis.
- Requirements:
-
Requirements of the graded assessment:
There will be small written tests during the semester - see schedule.
It is required that the student gets at lest 50% of points in each test.
It is required that the student has at least 50% of points in the sum of all small tests.
The final grade is given according to the study regulation in force.
- Syllabus of lectures:
-
1. Mathematical solution of the optimizing problem I
Local extremes of functions of one variable, solution using derivatives. Local extremes of functions of two variables.
2. Mathematical solution of the optimizing problem II
Functions of three and more variables. Finding the local extremes of a function subject to equality constraints. Lagrange multipliers.
3. Regression analysis – linear and non-linear regression
Point and interval estimation of regression coefficients, confidence belt. General regression function. Linearization. Correlation coefficient, coefficient of determination. Interpretation. Predictive value of the regression function.
4.Regression analysis II: Multiple linear regression
5. Introduction to game theory and models of decision games. Selected game theories - Definition of game, prisoner's dilemma, oligopolies, Nash equilibrium, cake slicing (game).
6. Introduction into differential equations
Differential equations as a dynamic model. Solving ordinary differential equations.
