Credential Course Equivalency

AMS 11A: Mathematical Methods for Economists I Introduction to mathematical tools and reasoning, with applications to economics. Topics are drawn from differential calculus in one variable and include limits, continuity, differentiation, elasticity, Taylor polynomials, and optimization. Students who have already taken Mathematics 11A and 19A should not take this course. (Also offered as Economics 11A. Students cannot receive credit for both courses.) Prerequisite(s): score of 31 or above on Mathematics Placement Exam. Students who do not place into precalculus should enroll in Math 2. (General Education Code(s): IN, Q.) Y. Katznelson, M. Mangel, D. Miluntinovic https://courses.soe.ucsc.edu/courses/ams11a AMS 11B: Mathematical Methods for Economists II Mathematical tools and reasoning, with applications to economics. Topics are drawn from multivariable differential calculus and single variable integral calculus, and include partial derivatives, linear and quadratic approximation, optimization with and without constraints, Lagrange multipliers, definite and indefinite integrals, and elementary differential equations. (Also offered as Economics 11B. Students cannot receive credit for both courses.) Prerequisite(s): course 11A or Economics 11A. (General Education Code(s): IN, Q.) Y. Katznelson https://courses.soe.ucsc.edu/courses/ams11b You must take BOTH of these courses to satisfy the Fundamental Math prerequisite.
