( by TrysBaldai) Hello, I am planning to start BSc Economics this year at LSE and since I know that the course is very demanding I would like to do some preparation beforehand. At school I took IB Maths HL, Econ HL, Bus and Mangamenet HL.
What could I do to be as sharp as possible for the commencement of studies in October? Which maths topics should be reviewed? How could I prepare for the academic load of the upcoming year? Thank you in advance. Like Mr Jingles said, I gather that Maths is the most important thing to do in preparation. Going over macro and micro will be less help as the course already knows we are very good at Maths (A. standard), so that would be the thing to revise.
But doing some Micro and Macro certainly won't hurt. And looking at some stats, maybe? ( by TrysBaldai) Get your hands on Indicative reading: Part A: Morgan W., M. Rosen (2009) Microeconomics, 2nd edition, McGraw-Hill. Part B: N Gregory Mankiw, Macroeconomics, Worth, 2010. (source: ) also if you know any people who did International Baccalaureate try getting Ellie Tragakes 'Economics for the IB Diploma'. Explanations are just ridiculously clear.
If you cannot get any of these books try:. Scroll down to the section with videos - 1.Micro 1.5. Theory of the Firm 2.Macro. I think these are the most decent ones for self-taught economics.
Heaps of good videos. Hope this helps.
It does, thanks. ( by TrysBaldai) Hello, I am planning to start BSc Economics this year at LSE and since I know that the course is very demanding I would like to do some preparation beforehand.

Ib Economics Ellie Tragakes Pdf
I'm also starting BSc Economics at LSE this year! Briefly looking through a mathematics for economics textbook I've got (bought for another purpose), it seems that calculus, limits, series and matrices are worth taking a look.
The Taylor series expansions and Mclaurin's Rule are covered in FP3 AQA and are in the maths for econ textbook I've got as well? Jingles) hey, i'm starting LSE Econ as well in October, from what I can gather I think it'll be best to revise maths and further maths A-level syllabuses (or IB in your case), mostly calculus, matrices and complex numbers. Also a little bit of microecon for Economics B, but the macro is mostly mathematical so I'm not gonna worry too much about that. I think they'll be sending us a reading list in a couple of weeks though. Congrats on your results and see you there in October! I just finished my AS study and will be studying A-level from next semester, and I hope to know if I can get an offer. Would you mind me asking you the subjects and grades?
(I got As in Economics, Business, Mathematics and Physics, and want to whether it will be easier to get an offer next year. Thanks in advance!). ( by TrysBaldai) I've found a list of topics to be covered - Matrices, reduced row echelon form, rank. Systems of linear equations, Gaussian elimination. Vector spaces, linear independence, basis, dimension. Linear transformations, similarity.
Orthogonal diagonalization. Complex numbers. Functions of several variables, derivatives, gradients, tangent hyperplanes. Optimisation including Lagrange's method. Vector-valued functions, derivatives and their manipulation. Inverse functions, local inverses and critical points, use in transformations.
Integration, differential and difference equations. Some applications of the above topics. Source: Oh wow.
I'm hoping they're going to go through this stuff and not act as though its assumed knowledge. I've only touched upon like half of this stuff. It seems that Gaussian Elimination is the tableu version of linear programming (covered in AQA D2 ).
