# Mathematics for Macroeconomics: Source Files

This repository contains the source files of the course "Mathematics for Macroeconomics" developed by [Pascal Michaillat](https://pascalmichaillat.org/) and taught at the [London School of Economics & Political Science](https://www.lse.ac.uk).

## Course webpage

The course material is hosted at https://pascalmichaillat.org/c3/.

## Lecture notes

The source files to the lecture notes are placed in the `lecturenotes` folder. The lecture notes are written in LaTeX, and then compiled to PDF with pdfTeX. There are 3 sets of lecture notes:

+ `notes1.tex`, `notes1.pdf` – Dynamic programming

+ `notes2.tex`, `notes2.pdf` – Optimal control

+ `notes3.tex`, `notes3.pdf` – Differential equations

+ `phasediagrams.key`, `phasediagrams.pdf` – Phase diagrams included in `notes3.tex`

## Problem sets

The source files to the problem sets are placed in the `problemsets` folder. The problem sets are written in LaTeX, and then compiled to PDF with pdfTeX. There are 4 problem sets:

+ `ps1.tex`, `ps1.pdf` – Problem set on dynamic programming

+ `ps2.tex`, `ps2.pdf` – Problem set on optimal control

+ `ps3.tex`, `ps3.pdf` – Problem set on differential equations

+ `ps4.tex`, `ps4.pdf` – Cumulative problem set covering all three topics

Solutions to the problems sets are available to instructors [upon request](mailto:[email protected]).

## Style files

The folders also contain the LaTeX style files used to format the lecture notes and problem sets:

+ `paper.sty` – [Commands to format academic papers](https://github.com/pmichaillat/latex-paper) 

+ `notes.sty` – Slight modification of `paper.sty` for teaching material

+ `math.sty` – [Commands to write math](https://github.com/pmichaillat/latex-math)
