Math Camp for Economic PhD Students - Advanced

The aim of this instructor-led course is to introduce/remind you of a basic level of mathematics which is required for the Ph.D. courses in economics. In this course, we take some simple examples and try out notions of closeness (topological and metric spaces), order (relations) and linearity (vector spaces) on them. Also we will learn, and practice, how to write a statement and to prove it by working on elementary theorems. 

This course is organized around five mathematical structures (Order, Topological, Metric, Measurable, and Linear) and consists of 10 two-hour lectures. The lectures will be recorded for the students to watch if they have to miss a class. Please see the syllabus for further details.
