Economic Decision-making
Economics has progressed in the last several decades by making extensive use of mathematical techniques. As a result, students who wish to pursue graduate study in accounting, finance and other disciplines for which mathematics is applied, as well as those students prepared to enter the business world upon graduation, benefit from a thorough grounding in both economics and mathematics.
In business, many companies apply mathematical economics to solve problems. That means they must have the right people at managerial levels with the skills required to solve these problems, increasing a company鈥檚 revenues or decreasing its cost. Those skills typically combine economic reasoning and mathematical techniques.
