Outline and objectives

This course provides a very broad overview of mathematics that will be useful for any economist or social scientist. Classes will be discussion based, with the opportunity for all students to become involved and express their opinion on mathematical topics. Technical skills will also be taught, and regular assignments will provide an opportunity to practice and gain a solid understanding of subtle issues.

Goal

Empowerment and understanding are key words for this course. You will learn to see how mathematics relates to economics, and be able to confidently contribute to workplace discussions involving mathematics

Method(s)(学期の途中で変更になる場合には、別途提示します。 /If the Method(s) is changed, we will announce the details of any changes. )

Students will be encouraged to participate in discussions, ask questions, or even give an impromptu presentation if it is appropriate and helpful for everyone. There will also be regular assignments, which must be completed in writing and submitted by the end of class. Assignments are to be submitted via Learning Management System (LMS), and will be graded and returned via LMS. Individual feedback will be provided as appropriate, and general comments regarding the submissions will be made in class.

Grading criteria

Grading will be based on eight assignments and the final examination.
Each assignment weighs 5% and the final examination weighs 60%.

Changes following student comments

Students will always have the opportunity to express their opinions and ask questions in class. Suggested changes will be discussed in class.

Equipment student needs to prepare

It would be useful if you bring a notepad and some paper. Otherwise, you do not need to prepare any equipment for this class.
