For specific Mathematical Emphasis requirements, see the section below. View as list View as grid. To participate in Honors in the Economics Major, students must be declared in the Mathematical Emphasis option. For further information, see the Mathematical Emphasis requirements and consult your Economics undergraduate advisor. This Sample Four-Year Plan is a tool to assist students and their advisor s.
Students will likely revise their own four-year plan several times during college. This Sample Three-Year Plan is a tool to assist students and their advisor s. Three-year plans may vary considerably from student to student, depending on their individual preparation and circumstances. Students interested in graduating in three years should meet with an advisor as early as possible to discuss feasibility, appropriate course sequencing, post-graduation plans careers, graduate school, etc.
A three-year degree is feasible for students with a variety of backgrounds and specific preparation. Students planning to graduate within three years with an Economics major should consult with an advisor as soon as possible, and should ideally be entering the University with a minimum of 30 advanced standing credits, and have satisfied the following requirements with course credit or via placement examination:.
Summer coursework is not required to finish in three years, but students planning to finish in three years will find it easier if they take either an intermediate theory course during Summer One or an advanced elective during Summer Two.
Academic advising , along with general information about the undergraduate major and coursework, is available in Room of the Social Science Building. Find us on the campus map. Email: econadvise ssc. The Economics Career Development Office ECDO provides career advising to help economics students explore career options and search for jobs and internships including reviewing application materials cover letter and resume. Career advisors work with students to develop an individualized job.
Career advising is open to declared economics majors or anyone considering majoring in economics who would like economics-specific career advice. Set up an appointment or email your questions to econcareers ssc. Factoring out the k in each successive column or row —for a total of n columns or rows —will yield the indicated result.
In d , the rank is 3. In a , b and c , the rank is less than 3. The set in a can because when the three vectors are combined into a matrix, its determinant does not vanish. But the set in b cannot. They are ai3 Ci2 and a2j C4j , respectively. Yes, Matrices G and H in problem 4 are examples. Thus the matrix equation is 0. Element 0: Industry III does not use its own output as its input. Element The open sector demands billion dollars of commodity II.
Exercise 6. Yes, the limit is For example, 2. Yes; each function is not only continuous but also smooth. Refer to the following two graphs Exercise 7. Since the total-cost function shows zero fixed cost, the situation depicted is the long run. Exercise 7. The equations in 7. Hence, by 8. At least one of the partial derivatives in the vector of constants in 8. Exercise 8.
Thus the implicit- function theorem is applicable. A similar complication arises when the supply function is used to get the other comparative-static derivative. These are in the nature of relative extrema, thus a minimum can exceed a maximum. A Exercise 9. It plots as an upward-sloping straight line emanating from the point of origin. Exercise 9. The critical values are 1 and 5.
With its minimum at 3a zero output. The MC curve must be upward-sloping throughout. The value of marginal product must be equated to the wage rate. Thus, by 9. Since the first nonzero derivative value is f 4 2.
The value of t can be either positive, zero, or negative. Exercise The nonzero requirement serves to preclude this contingency. The graphs are of the same general shape as in Fig.
Similarly to formula Thus, by Thus Both are the same as before. Both roots being positive, u0 Du is positive definite. Both roots being negative, u0 Eu is negative definite. Since r1 is positive, but r2 is negative, u0 F u is indefinite. Using r1 in The diagonal elements are all negative for problem 2, and all positive for problems 4 and 5. Thus the characteristic roots are all negative d2 z negative definite for problem 2, and all positive d2 z positive definite for problem 4.
Thus the maximum in this problem is a unique absolute maximum. The highest 1 is cd1 ; the lowest is cd2. Letting Pa0 alone vary i. In Elementary School Journal , 97 , 3— Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann.

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education , 24 , 62— Adding It Up explores how students in pre-K through 8th grade learn mathematics and recommends how teaching, curricula, and teacher education should change to improve mathematics learning during these critical years. The committee identifies five interdependent components of mathematical proficiency and describes how students develop this proficiency.
With examples and illustrations, the book presents a portrait of mathematics learning:. The committee discusses what is known from research about teaching for mathematics proficiency, focusing on the interactions between teachers and students around educational materials and how teachers develop proficiency in teaching mathematics.
