Differentiation lies at the heart of an introductory module or course in mathematical economics, but can present a number of significant challenges to students. These need to be dealt with before students become confident dealing with the rest of their degree course material. This guide includes an annex in PowerPoint format, which can be downloaded and adapted for use in class. These METAL (Mathematics for Economics: enhancing Teaching and Learning) teaching and learning guides are written primarily for lecturers and tutors, and present innovative and interactive approaches to teaching mathematical concepts to economics students. The guides include: Presentation of mathematics concepts, Top tips, Teaching and learning suggestions, Seminar activities.
