Micro-Economics, Macro-Economics, Behavioural Economics, Economic Behaviour, Sociological aspects, Economic Policy, Political Economics, Mathematical methods for each of these.

Economics - sociological and mathematical economics.

 

Economics is a highly mathematical subject, with its basis in the social sciences. The concept of 'money' will have to be defined, as well as the process by which more wealth is created from prior investments. Macro and micro-econometrics deals with quantitative economics in various size contexts. Fundamentally, it deals with the production, distribution and consumption of goods/resources/services (ultimately reducible to: matter and energy, and the changes these undergo in space and in time). Mathematical economics has contributed hugely not just to sociology, politics, finance, and business management; but also to physics, chemistry, biological systems (neuroscience, immunology, epidemiology, etc), linguistics, etc. --- and the latter here is not in terms of capitalising/monetising these industries of ideas, but rather answering questions like: "How can stochastic economic Nash-Chomskian models help us understand the way white blood cells and antibodies are generated & propagated within a closed circulatory system?".  Economics can be used to generate cost & policy-optimization functions that predict the strategic behaviour of self-organising agents within a system, whether the agents are conscious or non-sentient.

​

This topic will first cover all the main sub-topics you will find in a standard Economics BSc/MSc course. I will then try to relate these to all the other sections in as many ways as I can.
