| Summary | The course will cover the fundamentals needed for the main Economics Summer school courses and prepare students for the maths exam, which occurs on the first day of the Summer school. |
| Course description |
This self-study course is designed to help dust off students' maths skills with the help of the software, videos, and problem sets from Khan Academy. The curriculum is designed for students to move at their own pace, although with the expectation that they will need to devote roughly 2 hours a day to studying. The course guide is made up of eight modules plus a linear algebra supplement containing outlines, tasks, problem sets and recommended videos that cover both pre-calculus and calculus. The questions in each problem set will be adapted from the Schaum's guide, with special emphasis given to problems with economic content.
