Schweinzer P., Mathematical Methods for Economic Analysis

We will start with a refresher on linear programming, particularly Lagrange Theory. The problems we
will encounter should provide the motivation for the rest of the first part of this course where we will
be concerned mainly with the mathematical foundations of optimisation theory. This includes a revision
of basic set theory, a look at functions, their continuity and their maximisation in n-dimensional vector
space (we will only occasionally glimpse beyond finite spaces). The main results are conceptual, that is,
not illustrated with numerical computation but composed of ideas that should be helpful to understand a
variety of key concepts in modern Microeconomics and Game Theory
