Course Outline and Calendar Calculus, quite simply, is the study of change. Studying how the stock market varies, determining how a change in cost may reflect itself in profits, and several other problems are made easier when viewed with the tools of calculus. That is why it will be important for you to not only learn the applications we will discuss in class, but also the basic theory of calculus. In this class, we will present both the theory and its applications to economics and business. Exponential and logarithmic functions are valuable models of the behaviour of investments and the spread of information over a period of time.
Integration answers questions regarding probability which arise naturally in economics and business.
Course Calendar We will have three exams in this class. See the calendar below for the outline of lectures, quizzes, and tests. Homework problems will be assigned from each section covered in class, but they will not be collected. At least one of the problems on each quiz will be taken from the homework problems assigned.
