Friday: 13:30 - 15:00 h, room A02, MPI MiS
first class: October 14, 2011

In this course, I shall discuss the conceptual structure of contemporary economic theory and introduce the relevant mathematical methods, like game theory, dynamical systems, stochastic analysis.
Thus, the course will also give an overview of and an introduction to a wide range of mathematical topics.
