This course covers vector and multi-variable calculus. It is in the second semester in the ZJU freshman calculus sequence. Topics include vectors and matrices, parametric curves, partial deriva- tives, double and triple integrals, and vector calculus in 2- and 3-space. As its name suggests, multivariable calculus is the extension of calculus to more than one variable. Single variable calculus is a highly geometric subject and multivariable calculus is the same, maybe even more so. In your calculus class you studied the graphs of functions in the form of

Calculus plays an important role in the understanding of science, engineering, economics, and computer science, among other disciplines. This introductory calculus course covers differentiation and integration of functions of one variable, with applications. After completing this course, students should have developed a clear understanding of two fundamental concepts of single variable calculus and a range of skills allowing them to work effectively with the concepts.

The course provides an introduction to basic econometric concepts and data analysis techniques, such as descriptive statistics, correlation and regression, probability, chance variability, and sampling.

This is the follow-up course of Econometrics I. This course emphasizes both the theoretical and the practical aspects of statistical analysis, focusing on techniques for estimating econometric models of various kinds and for conducting tests of hypotheses of interest to economists. The goal is to help students develop a solid theoretical background in introductory level econometrics, the ability to implement the techniques and to critique empirical studies in economics.

This class will present an introduction to economic growth.
