ECON 129 - Calculus-Based Principles of Economics

An introduction to the basic tools of micro- and macroeconomic analysis in a math intensive way. Microeconomics deals with consumers, firms, markets and income distribution. Macroeconomics deals with national income, employment, inflation and money. Compared to ECON 119, this class requires calculus to learn economic models and conduct economic analysis, although the two classes cover the same economic concepts and theories. This course counts as a Group E elective. Prerequisite(s): MATH 135 or a qualifying AP Calculus score. Every year. (4 Credits)
