The course will begin with pre-requisite tools of quantitative thinking vis-a-vis the number system, set theory, logic, probability and statistics. We will then learn how to use some of these tools to study (i) fairness in division of scarce resources, (ii) collective decisions in committees and democracies around the world (voting methods), and (iii) how to act optimally in competitive social interactions, i.e. game theory. By the end of the course, students would have a basic understanding of the most widely used mathematical tools in the liberal arts. They will learn how to approach different economic problems- by reducing them to their bare essentials (via modelling) and to mathematically analyse their underlying structural and logical patterns.
