Lesson 21: Partial Derivatives in Economics
This document outlines a lesson on partial derivatives in economics and linear models with quadratic objectives from a math class. It provides examples of using partial derivatives to analyze marginal quantities and products in a Cobb-Douglas production function. It also describes developing a "suck coefficient" metric to quantify how bad comedy shows are based on factors like pay, travel time, and venue quality. Finally, it discusses using completing the square and linear regression to model monopolistic pricing and linear fits to data.
