Contents

Learn how to design content and user interface for interactive Mathematica programs to modify and create economic models.

Learning outcomes

Understand how Mathematica applications work. Know which commands for content and visual design of interactive interfaces are offered within selected framework of Mathematica. Ability to develop and visualize economic models using generated and imported data.

Attendance requirements

Following a general guideline of the Vice-Rectorate for Teaching, attendance requirements are met if students participate in at least 80% of our sessions, thus skipping up to 2 units is tolerated.

Teaching/learning method(s)

We break down interactive programs into their functional components and link them to data sources against the backdrop of economic models. We develop intuitive interfaces for existing and yet to be created Mathematica programs which support didactic applications and contemporary adaptations of economic models.

Assessment

(1) meaningful modification of an interactive Mathematica program,

(2) self-created interactive Mathematica program,

(3) conversational participation.

These partial performances are weighted for overall assessment contributing 1/3 each.

 

Prerequisites for participation and waiting lists

English (sufficient to understand documentation installed with Mathematica)
