| Content | Economists (and other scientists) often study the changes over time in variables like national income, interest rate, oil production... The laws of motion governing these variables are usually expressed in terms of one or more differential equation(s). In the first part of this course we will study (ordinary) differential equations and special systems of differential equations. Furthermore we will discuss the connections between the classical calculus of variations and differential equations. In the second part of the course we will have a look at difference equations (and discrete time optimization). |

| Assessment format | end-of-semester examination |
| Assessment details | Exercises must be solved and the solutions handed in every week. The solutions will be marked. All these marks together (arithmetic mean) give the preliminary mark. At the end of the term there will be an examination. Your overall mark will be the arithmetic mean of the preliminary mark and the examination mark. |
