Mathematics 1 Part 2 is the second of two self-paced courses from LSE which aim to introduce and develop and understanding of essential mathematical concepts, methods and techniques. This course can be taken alone or as part of the LSE MicroBachelors program in Mathematics and Statistics Fundamentals.
Part 2 covers the following topics:

  • Integration
  • Profit maximisation
  • Constrained optimisation
  • Matrices, vectors, and linear equations
  • Sequences, series, and financial modelling

This course will equip you with the skills to solve unseen mathematical problems in these areas and will emphasise their applications to problems in economics, management, and related areas.
This course is part of the Mathematics and Statistics Fundamentals MicroBachelors® Program.

What you'll learn
By the end of this course you will have:

  • used the concepts, terminology, methods and conventions covered in the course to solve mathematical problems
  • the ability to solve unseen mathematical problems involving understanding of these concepts and application of these methods
  • seen how mathematical techniques can be used to solve problems in economics and related subjects
  • acquired skills in the methods of calculus (including multivariate calculus) and linear algebra, as required for their use in economics-based subjects

Syllabus

  • Integration
  • Profit maximisation
  • Constrained optimisation
