Introductory Courses

Mathematics The introductory course in Mathematics is about the notions of functions of one variable, function's graph, domain, range, inverse, monotonicity, elementary functions, limits, continuity, differential calculus, maximization/minimization. These notions are useful for the courses of Mathematics for Economics and Mathematical Methods for Economic Analysis, as well as for each other course which relies on quantitative tools. 

A good reference book for this material is the following (available in the Library at Campus Novoli):

Knut Sydsæter, Peter Hammond, Arne Strøm, Anders Carvajal: Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis, Pearson 2016, 5th Edition.
