Mathematical Methods for Economics- 1


Important topics/questions based on PYQs Analysis (2015- 2021)

Note:
1. Linear Algebra is not a part of your syllabus, so skip those questions while doing PYQs. Some
of the PYs have questions from Difference equations as well, so skip that as well.

2. Usually, Simple calculators are allowed in your exams. So be ready with the calculator.

3. I have tried to add all the important topics here, however, this list is not exhaustive and
there might still be some types of questions that might not be a part of this list, so prepare
accordingly.

4. Also, since the NEP (New Education Policy) has been implemented this year in Delhi
University, the pattern of your exams might change, so keep that in mind as well.)

Happy studying!
