Objectives of the Course This half course aims to develop students' basic mathematical abilities and to emphasize their applications to problems in economics, finance and related areas. This course is mainly designed to introduce students to differential and integral calculus.
Course Content Emphasis is placed on limits, continuity, derivatives and integrals of algebraic and transcendental functions of one variable. Upon completion, students should be able to select and use appropriate models and techniques for finding solutions to derivative-related problems.
