It is really one of the best course. I am a continuous learner from swayam nptel. I have done courses orgsnised by mooc of IIT KGP, IIT KANPUR, IIT MADRAS, IIMB, IISC BANGALORE, IIT ROORKIE etc. I found this one is the best among them in terms of syllabus, delivery, course outcomes and quality.

Credit goes to Sikha madam, Ishteyaaq sir and the complete team of Mathematical Economics Swayam course for delivering the academics as per the need and aspirations of learners. Credit also goes to the advisors and resource persons. Thank you all.

Course contents are systematically arranged from simple to complex. It covered from the very beginning of number system, function, variable to difference equation, linear programming etc. Thanks for your all efforts to make the course attractive by making videos, quizzes and E-texts. Videos are beautiful made. The most special thing I found in the course is that it nicely explained the history of development of each contents. E-text materials are well written and up to the mark. Graded assignments are well arranged. Ungraded assignments invited learners participation in discussing the contents through Whatsapp groups. External online examination paper was not easy and tough at all, specially arranged looking into the nature of multidisciplinary learners. Thanks once again to the team behind the course. Hope they will put more effort to develop new course in future days to come.

Why I have taken this course?

I am Pursuing MA in economics from IGNOU. As I had a keen interest in learning Mathematical economics, my couriosity made me to take up this wonderful course in Swayam

How is my learning?

I completed 10 weeks of course and every week I involue in

Shubhangi B. Patil is taking this course right now, spending 5 hours a week on it and found the course difficulty to be easy.

I really liked the course.the course is very well organised and upto the mark. Along with videos on mathematical economics, I also liked the last video on how to communicate in mooc discussion forum.The coordinator and her team must have put lot of efforts and made proper planning before starting this course. I am a assistant professor in economics always wanted to learn econometrics n mathematical economics, but could not get time , the foreign course on same were difficult to understand due to their language pronouciation, but this Indian course is very very good and easy to understand.looking forward to you for a series of such courses taking us from basic to advanced learning of the subject. Shikha mam, I have become your fan.thank you.

This program has actually enlightened me to understand more about Mathematics. It gives meaning to every Maths expressions or equations. I'm a Maths student but have come to appreciate Maths more because of economics. I have now understood that every Maths question is a real life challenge in disguised form. I love to pursue Mathematical Economics to the highest level.

How I wish I could get a scholarship assistance to pursue this program either in or outside my country.

I really recommend this course to all and sundry.

Thanks to the President of Ghana for introducing SWAYAM to all NABCO beneficiaries. We're grateful.

Love to be in Indian one day... Bravo to Ms. Sikha and her team for such wonderful hardwork and delivery.

God bless you all, keep it up.

The course is very helpful in enhancing our mathematical skills.The creative videos are there which help us in understanding the concept and it almost give us the feel like that we are studying in a classroom. Whatsapp group is there where we get all the important information and makes it easier for us to understand everything. And we can solve our problems by asking teachers.

The course is really something to look upto,for its simplicity and design.Something which is not too hard hitting and heavy,easy to comprehend and engaging at the same time.

Never thought that graduates too could learn in a fun way!It comes in small doses,to be absorbed and assimilated,one concept at a time.True wisdom is making something complex,as easy as possible,and the creators of the course have succeeded in doing so.While Maths and Economics are generally assumed(at least i do so)to be all complex stuff ,the course makes you believe you are going through a text book meant for a child,with pictures and games and lots of colors ,contrary to the black and white endless pages of equations and complex notations.

Dear teachers, thank you so much for your constant attempt to make us learning mathematical economics. The course as of now has been quite helpful. You have made the concepts and theories easy to understand. It has been made so simple to understand that even a non-mathmatical background student can find easy to grasp after a little efforts. Mathmatics in economics these days are very essential, this could help us to express theories and model in concise form. We all believe that each and every student of economics need to analyse economic theory and models in mathematical form. They must also understand the theory very clearly. I believe your enthusiastic training will help everyone to achieve their goals. Thank you once again.

I have taken other courses on the swayam platform last semester and currently am also taking other courses apart from ME. As a matter of sincerity, the presentation, the course content and the practicality of the course make it one of the best courses I have taken on swayam.

Although, before the course started I anticipated a more mathematically rigorous course, because I have a background in mathematics with economics, that has not been the case.

I really appreciate Sikha's authority over the subject matter and her presentation skills.

It's a good course, and I will recommend for anyone who wants to have insight into mathematical economics.

Thanks.

Explanation of the concept was so amazing and graphics, diagrammatic presentation also very helpful for me to understand.

Every point was cleared very peacefully.

This course is easily understandable even for one who hails from humanities background like me. Maths was once a monster for me.. after I joined this course, I can now feel a better version of myself in dealing with mathematical economics. The creative explanation of this staff made this course more interesting. The surprises show their passion for the development of skills in the students. Thank you 'Swayam' for making me meet this amazing teachers.

The course has given me new perspective to look at the subject of Mathematical Methods of Economics.

The video lectures are made interesting by using different graphics and helps in engaging you with the subject without distraction.

The thorough explanation of subject is helpful even if you are starting from scratch. With mathematical methods the basic concept of Economics is also explained as and when required so that you wont lack the idea when solving the problems.

Thanks

This is the best course I had seen till now. I would say that I was that type of person who always get afraid when the mathematics part came but this course has changed my perspective. It not only help me in developing my analytical and critical thinking skills but also now I am able to apply mathematical concepts in my real life. Now I say I started loving mathematical part since I am able to solve questions easily.

Thank you for a wonderful course
