授業の概要と方法

This course provides students with essential mathematical tools for Policy Science. With increasing data availability, policy questions can be analyzed quantitatively, making it crucial for students to have a strong grasp of mathematical fundamentals. The course covers various topics to help students tackle policy questions from a mathematical perspective.

After each lecture, there will be a mini-test to check the students' comprehension. Additionally, the instructor will assign homework, which will serve as preparation for the next lecture. Students will be expected to give short presentations and participate in discussions.

Keywords: linear and quadratic equations, logarithms, limits.

受講生の到達目標

On completion of this course, students should be able to:

- interpret and apply functional notation;
- graph linear and quadratic functions;
- understand logarithms and apply their properties;
- translate word problems into mathematical expressions;
- understand and calculate limits.
