This unit will introduce fundamental mathematical methods in commerce and economics, such as matrices and calculus. The mathematics is motivated by being applied to finance, economics and data-fitting. Specific models in finance (such as valuation of cash-flow streams, and annuities) and in economics (such as input-output models) will be developed. Students will learn how to implement certain of these models using spreadsheets.

Learning outcomes

(a) competence with the underlying mathematical methods.
(b) understanding of the models covered.
(c) ability to apply this understanding to concrete computer implementation.


Prerequisites

ACT College Mathematics Applications, or NSW Year 12 General Mathematics.

Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.

Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.

UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).

UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.

Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
