Course description
Mathematics 1 Part 2: Integral Calculus, Algebra, and Applications
Mathematics 1 Part 2 is the second of two self-paced courses from LSE which aim to introduce and develop and understanding of essential mathematical concepts, methods and techniques. This course can be taken alone or as part of the LSE MicroBachelors program in Mathematics and Statistics Fundamentals.
Part 2 covers the following topics:
Integration
Profit maximisation
Constrained optimisation
Matrices, vectors, and linear equations
Sequences, series, and financial modelling
This course will equip you with the skills to solve unseen mathematical problems in these areas and will emphasise their applications to problems in economics, management, and related areas.
