Hey, I was just wondering, What type of mathematcis topics is involved in the course economics? Eg. Exponential functions or Linear functions etc. Are these in it? and more?

You'll need to know basic differential calculus and all the normal functions (linear, exponential).

Year 12 Advanced Maths is more than enough.

would i have to do a bridging course if i did general maths?

They'd recommend it. If you continue after 1st year, probably a good idea.

Hi again, Can someone list the topics in 2unit maths that are used/required to know for Economics and other commerce subjects. Alot of people including myself are worried about the intensity of the math work, and so far no one has listed what topics are needed. Ive done the bridging course, yet im still struggling, half of what they teach you in the bridging course is not used in economics or commerce. So can someone kindly list the topics.

Thanks.

This is based on first year level (probably more in further years):
- Differentiation
- Linear functions
- Basic arithmetic (obviously lol)
