The study of economics requires students to use mathematical techniques to model agents’ behaviour, and to use statistical tools to, for example, analyse the impact of economic policy. This unit provides the basic mathematical tools that students will require to study economics units, and the statistical foundations required to analyse economic data.

The unit provides the foundational mathematics and statistics that are core to modern economics. Students will build on the foundations developed in this unit throughout their undergraduate degree.
