科目授業名: Mathematics for Business and Economics II
授業内容: To study the theoretical side of social science, knowledge and technique of mathematics are seriously needed. This course is devoted to understanding the mathematics necessary for the further studies in advanced undergraduate courses and graduate school. The main aims are to learn the theoretical concepts of mathematics and at the same time to practice the applications in economics.
授業の狙い: The main objective of this course is to get used to manipulate linear algebra and to learn the theoretical concepts of the expected value, random variable, distribution, large sample theory, interval estimation, and estimator as well as to see when and how it can be applied.
