A knowledge <strong>of</strong> matrix algebra and <strong>of</strong> the mathematical statistics dealt with in Statistical<br />
Analysis is recommended for students attempting this course.<br />
The course is concerned with examining the usefulness <strong>of</strong> single equation regression<br />
analysis in applied economic research and also with providing an introduction to<br />
simultaneous estimation procedures.<br />

The first part <strong>of</strong> the course is designed to provide an introduction to <strong>Mathematic</strong>al<br />
Economics for students who have some mathematical ability but whose university level<br />
work in this area has been confined to one or more statistics-oriented subject. Topics<br />
include linear modelling and constrained optimization, the theory and economic<br />
application <strong>of</strong> difference and differential equations, the mathematical reformulation and<br />
interpretation <strong>of</strong> traditional macro-theory (including matrix algebra), the techniques <strong>of</strong><br />
input-output analysis, linear (and to a limited extent non-linear) programming, game<br />
theory and a discussion <strong>of</strong> the theory and economic application <strong>of</strong> the calculus <strong>of</strong><br />
variations.<br />
