1st lecture Monday 19th
Remember that the first lecture, joint with Math 3, is already on Monday. It will cover (I) "what Math 2 students will learn and Math 3 students should review if they don't know it by heart" - this includes previews of topics you might encounter in 3200/4200/4310 before we get that far in Math 2; (II) practicalities of the course(s), and (III) spend some time on convexity/concavity in a setting that is not at all exam relevant for Math 2, but which you are likely to encounter in the study (convex preferences / the law of diminishing marginal return; separating hyperplanes / the 2nd theorem of welfare economics; stochastic optimization / behaviour towards risk).
