Course Objectives: Aim of this course is to teach methods of difference equations for dynamic analysis, multivariable calculus, unconstraint, constraint and intertemporal optimization techniques are required by micro and macro economic analysis.

Learning Outputs

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. Learn solving methods of difference equations.
2.Learn methods of multivariable calculus, unconstraint, constraint and intertemporal optimization techniques required by micro and macro economic analysis.
3. Apply these methods on mico and macro economic analysis.
4. Select proper methods for new problems and solve them.

Course Content

After difference equations as a method for dynamic analysis, unconstrained optimization method and its application in economics, constrained and temporal optimization techniques will be learned.
