Course feedback#

  • Very important

🛟 Exam practice#

Please, use the following materials to practice for the exam:

  1. All tutorial problems and solutions published on this website.

  2. Exercises with partial solutions from the relevant chapters in the textbook referenced in each lecture topic.

  3. 📖 “Solved Problems of Mathematics with Applications to Economics and Finance” by José A. Rodrigues-Neto, downloadable form the Wattle course webpage

Note

I am purposefully not giving exact reference to the practice problems, as going through the table of contents and finding the relevant problems for each topic is part of the exercise.

🧐 Previous years exam papers#

Here are a couple of samples of previous years exam papers. The course material is changing slightly every year, so the questions may not be relevant for the current course. However, they are still useful for practice.
