Mathematics for Public Policy
Mathematical methods for public policy analysis
This is an introductory course in mathematical methods for public policy analysis, aimed at GraSPP students without strong backgrounds in mathematics. Especially, students who came from non-economics, non-engineering or non-science majors are welcomed. This course helps students develop mathematical foundation skills for applying useful mathematical techniques to public policy issues. The course consists of four parts. In the first, I introduce the foundations of differential calculus. In the second, I introduce some concepts in linear algebra. The third part is devoted to multivariate calculus and constrained static optimization. The last part provides an introduction to dynamic optimization and linear dynamic systems.

履修上の注意
Prospective students are expected to take the screening test before the first day of the class. (Screening test problems and answers will be posted on UTAS syllabus for late September.) Those who score 60 percent or lower based on the self-assessment in the screening test are highly recommended to take this course. If your score is around 60 percent and you like to refresh your memory of undergraduate-level mathematics, this course could provide a good opportunity to move on to advanced courses on quantitative methods.
