ECN601 – Section 003 Syracuse University Fall 2010 Professor Lourenço Paz Math Review 1. Basic algebra and geometry Check out the handouts at : http://www1.maxwell.syr.edu/pa.aspx?id=36507223186 2. Calculus of one variable Let y = axb‚ where a and b are numbers‚ with b different from zero. The derivative of y with respect to x is dy/dx = abxb-1 Examples: y = 2x7‚ dy/dx = 2*7x7-1 = 14x6 y = 5x0.3‚ dy/dx = 5*0.3*x0.3-1 = 1.5x-0.7 Exercises: Calculate dy/dx a) y= 3x2 b) y = 12x0
