ECON3202: Mathematical Economics

10% Class Participation. Mostly a video submission of you doing one of the optional homework problems. The lecturer also gave out marks for answering and asking questions, or for correcting typos in the lecture slides.

7 x 5% Homework Assignments. There weren't any problems that took more than 5-10 minutes of thinking. Most of them were 3-4 pages. Easiest 35% I've ever gotten.

55% Final Exam. This was much harder than any material that we were given, but since it was a 24-hour take-home exam, it likely was not indicative of what the final exam in future years will be. Very few people that I've spoken to were able to completely finish it and feel confident in their answers.

ECON1202. I recommend taking this after taking ECON1203, or if you have taken at least MATH1231.

This should be a math major's gen-ed of choice.

2 x 1.5 hour lectures per week. 1 x 1.5 hour tutorial per week.

0/5. As a math major, I'd already covered most of the material found in this course in first and second-year math. The homework assignment averages were around a 4-4.5/5, and I suspect that the average mark for this course will end up being a distinction

Yes.

Juan Carlos (JC) Carbajal, 5/5. JC is a love/hate lecturer for some. But everyone I knew who took this course loved him, including me. Not quite Alberto levels of chill, but certainly up there for this course.

Full slides given out. Slides were mostly complete but lacked examples that were done in lectures.

5/5. If you've already done MATH1231 then it won't be hard at all to ace this course.

Mathematical appendix from Jehle and Reny's Advanced Microeconomic Theory. This is a solid resource, but I only used it a few times.

I'd recommend using Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis instead. Many of the proofs in this course can be found in detail in this textbook. If you're studying mathematics this should be a standard real analysis textbook as well.

Jonathan Nathan, 4/5. Jonathan is a great tutor and is great at explaining how to approach the proofs found in the course.
