Introduction
The language of mathematics is extensively used to analyse problems in economics and finance, and mathematical models, theories, and methods are extensively used to solve problems. The mathematical requirements of a graduate student go beyond the material usually taught in undergraduate courses, and this course will teach the beginning graduate student more advanced mathematical models, theories, and methods. In particular, it will introduce the students to coding using Excel. The course is taught in the first semester of the master programme. Topics include linear algebra and matrix methods, optimisation in several real variables, and differential and difference equations
