Introductory Mathematics for Economists with Matlab
2023-01-25
Preface
This is a work-in-progress course website for Mathematics for Economists, an upper-level undergraduate economics course offered by Piruz Saboury and Fan Wang. The course covers a subset of topics from Mathematics for Economists (Simon and Blume 1994). Applications focus on households’ optimal borrowing and savings problems and firms’ optimal inputs problems. Matlab is used throughout.
Materials are written in matlab (The MathWorks Inc 2019) livescript files and shown as HTML files. For HTML files, click on the links below. The livescript files can be downloaded and modified inside matlab. Files are from the Math4Econ repository.
Please contact Piruz Saboury or Fan Wang for issues or problems.
From other repositories: for research support toolboxes, see matlab toolbox, r toolbox, and python toolbox; for code examples, see matlab examples, stata examples, r examples, python examples, and latex examples; for packaging example, see pkgtestr for developing r packages; for teaching, also see intro statistics for undergraduates.
The site is built using Bookdown (Xie 2020).
