Some basic concepts of Mathematics (that we will frequently use.. read this section of your book carefully)
Functions
Variables ..Discrete and Continuous (based on nature of a variable taking values)..examples in Economics?
-dependent variable and independent variable (based on relationship)..examples? Little bit problematic sometimes?
Positive relationship – negative relationship
straight line Vs Curved lines
Slope as a measurement of effect of a change in one variable.. some kind of ‘partial’ sense (more on higher level courses)

2. Continued..
What happens when any other independent variables change? …idea of ‘Shift’ ?
Shifts Vs Movements along the line
Solving equations
No more on Computer – let’s use the blackboard.
