Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics - Economics

University at Buffalo - SUNY

Faculty from both the Mathematics and Economics department teach courses for the Mathematics-Economics BA. Economics is the science that studies the consequences of scarcity, with applications to intelligent management and enhancement of scarce resources in diverse contexts, including government, policy, and sustainability, as well as business and financial planning. Mathematics is the study of idealized constructs used in modeling real-world phenomena, and can add depth and power to economic analyses, and enable insights that were previously inaccessible. The comprehensive Economics component of the curriculum emphasizes essential economic theory, statistical analyses of economic data, and their symbiosis in the discipline of ''applied economics.'' The additional mathematical component equips the student with the skills for more complex models and more computationally intensive techniques.
