| Requirements |
It is recommended that students take an introductory course on economics and calculation methods, as well as microeconomics and macroeconomics, prior to this course, but students may take these courses in parallel with this course. However, since calculations such as derivatives are frequently used in lectures and assignments, students who are not good at such calculations should focus on preparation and review. |
