Economics · Columbia University
Consumer and producer theory, different types of markets and their equilibrium
Quizzes, midterms x2, and finals. Midterms are basically the same as quiz material so just study and you'll be fine. Same goes for the final. Isaac isn't trying to trick anyone and it shows. Go to OH with questions and he'll explain it very well. Sometimes quizzes were confusing but you can work together with peers. Note that quizzes are not dropped so you can't really mess up but Isaac is willing to clarify.
Basics of Econ - nothing too exciting or difficult.
Math needed to support learning in other subjects such as macro and micro economics
Foundations of microeconomics, consumer and producer marshallian and hicksian demand
Isaac is a nearly perfect professor. He is clearly incredibly passionate and well-versed on the topic. Lectures are never boring and a joy to attend. Can't believe I'm saying this but I wholeheartedly looked forward to his classes. Grading is sometimes annoying but Isaac was always ready to adjust if deemed illogical. For a principles class, this was a great overview and has convinced me to take more econ classes! A true gem of a professor. Take principles with Isaac.
Supply/demand, basic game theory, markets, production functions
Lagrange, measure theory, matrix, continuity, limit.... very useful to calculate the econ problems.
Good seminar that doesnt pose unfair expectations from the final paper; effort to actually teach behavioral theory before delving into research requirements
Great demonstration of economic intuition from the maths.
