I learnt a lot about the current research that's happening in the field

I learnt plenty on monetary economics, topic I've never been exposed to before.

Basic math for economists, some parts already familiar from math undergrad

Better understood (in-)complete markets model and NK model

Various useful maths topics in economics, a clear way of presenting maths concepts.

I was forced to take this by the PhD program

I learned about a suite of tools and mathematical principles that undergird the study of economics, especially macroeconomics. Our primary goal was to build up to the dynamic programming used in macroeconomic models (via fixed point theorems), but we also covered topics in linear algebra and stochastic calculus. I especially appreciated coverage of Markov processes, which I had been meaning to teach myself but hadn't gotten to.

Recap of things I already knew + new knowledge on dynamic programming, supermodular games, positive matrices and stochastic calculus.

Lattices, linear algebra done right, markov matrices done right, classical dynamic programming theory and a bit of continuous time

Only useful for PhD students in economics or those who would like to become one
