Quantitative methods make many contributions to the development of all areas of Economics and Commerce, e.g. Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management and Marketing. This unit will develop basic quantitative techniques and apply them to problems in Economics. The emphasis of the unit will not be the development of new techniques nor on the techniques for their own sake but on the application of techniques to a variety of economic problems. Many of the mathematical tools covered will already be familiar, to some extent, to students from TCE Mathematics Applied. Since students will bring different mathematics backgrounds to the unit, there will be thorough revision of basic concepts and tools as the unit progresses.
