This degree focuses on how mathematics and economics connect and interact. You will not only acquire technical skills but also powers of analysis. The ability to think analytically will enable you to adapt to new developments in your chosen career.

The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) believes that the combination of mathematics and economics instils such an ability. You will be able to understand how rigorous proofs can be given in mathematics, and see how the theories developed can be used in an economics context. The general skills you will gain will enable you to proceed to a successful career in many fields. In this programme, you will learn how formal mathematics is done-why it is important to have precise definitions, and how results can be proved and techniques justified.

This degree provides you with the concepts and methods from economics that are relevant for management and shows you how to apply them. It also gives you the opportunity to acquire the foundations of complementary disciplines such as finance, accounting and sociology as well as the necessary quantitative methods. As a result, you will be able to understand how organisations work and how they interact. Analysing the structure and strategies of firms will allow you to understand the evolution of industries and the functioning of markets.

This ability to apply economic reasoning and to think independently about management is critical for managers and entrepreneurs.

(Any four electives)• Mathematical Economics

• Optimization Theory

• Elements of Econometrics

• Game Theory

• Advanced Statistics (Distribution Theory (half unit) + Statistical Inference (half unit))
