A math refresher course (affectionately known as the "math bootcamp") to be taken before the beginning of the first semester.
The aim of the course is to give the incoming Master students in International Economics (MA-IE) the necessary mathematical and statistical skills to begin the core first-year courses.
The instructor will go over basic matrix algebra, analysis, optimisation, probability and statistics. An introduction to the different software needed, such as LateX and Stata, will also be given.
This three-week course consists of daily lectures and problem-solving sessions designed to bring students from heterogeneous academic backgrounds up to speed in terms of the quantitative methods used in economics.
The course is compulsory for Master students in International Economics (MA-IE) – 6 ECTS – and is optional for the students registered to the MAS in Sustainable Finance and Development (MAS SFD) – so no ECTS will be credited to the MAS students.
The course should take place from Monday 19 August to Friday 6 September 2024 (3 weeks before the start of the first semester) - dates TBC.
