This course provides an introduction to some of the more important topics in the field of Matrix Algebra. Matrix Algebra has widespread applications in the fields of Economics, Psychology and Sociology. Therefore it is essential for students majoring in any of the aforementioned fields to have a working knowledge of Matrix Algebra. This course also provides students with an excellent introduction to some of the abstract concepts that underpin much of modern mathematics. Although considerable emphasis will be placed on the computational aspects of Matrix Algebra, students will learn how to provide proofs for some of the basic algebraic facts that will be encountered during the course.

This course builds on the basic ideas of Differential Calculus explored in ECON1004. Students will also be introduced to optimization of functions of n variables and the mathematical processes involved in solving differential and difference equations. These ideas are critical components of the quantitative aspects of Economics and Management Sciences.

This course is a continuation of Mathematics for Social Sciences II. Differential and Integral Calculus have widespread applications in several areas of the Social Sciences. Therefore this course will prove invaluable to any serious social scientist. Several of the ideas explored in Calculus I will be revisited. However, this time the emphasis will be on rigour. You will be introduced to the proofs of some of the fundamental results of Calculus and will learn how to use these facts to prove other results. Although the emphasis here is on rigour, the computational aspects of the course will not be neglected and will be explored in several real life applications throughout the course

Game theory is the study of optimal decision making among rational competitors, called players. It takes into account the interactions among the players and their behaviours to develop optimal strategies. Game theory has wide applications in diverse fields, for instance, economics, business, political science, biology and computer science. In this course we will discuss the different types of games and the different methods that are used to obtain optimal strategies. We will also explore some applications of game theory to the study of economics.
