Educational Goals

The objectives of this lesson are:

• To analyze the basic concepts of Mathematical Economic Analysis.
• To interpret in detail the basic Mathematical Methods necessary for the understanding of modern Economics as applied to Micro- and Macro-Economics.
• To demonstrate the relationship of Applied Mathematical Science with Economic Analysis (Micro- and Macro-Economic), by emphasizing in particular to the scientific analytical needs of Economists and Business Management Executives.

Upon completion of the course students should be able to:

• Have confidence in the Applied Mathematical approach to Economic and Business problems and the possibility of their scientific solution.
• Be aware of the need to refer to well-known Interdisciplinary Textbooks of Applied Mathematics and their effective use.
• Understand the power of Mathematical Economic Methods and Techniques and the need to apply them in the modern organization and management of businesses, in the environment of international markets.
• Use the basic tools of Applied Mathematical Science as a foundation for the further study of Higher Mathematics required in the scientific field of Management and Economic Analysis and, of course, in the further continuation of their studies successfully.
