About Bsc Economics And Mathematics in University of Essex
Many students are attracted to mathematics at school by the clear unequivocal nature of the answers to the questions. Mathematics is a discipline in which, at university level too, precise propositions can lead, through elegant arguments, to far-reaching consequences, including surprising applications. The clear-cut nature of the subject means that a higher proportion of mathematics students obtain first-class degrees than in most other subjects.
On this course, you investigate topics in mathematics, and mathematical applications in economics. Mathematics develops strong problem solving skills that will complement the economics side of your course and allow you to understand the more complex elements of the subject, so that you can examine the decisions of individuals, the strategies of firms and the policies of individuals.
You will explore topics including:
- Microeconomics (economics of producers and consumers)
- Macroeconomics (economics of nations)
- Probability and applied statistics
- Finance and Big Data
- Discrete mathematics, languages and semigroup theory
