rather than learning mathematics itself. Hence, in this paper a student will be initiated into various
economic concepts, which are amenable to mathematical treatment. The paper also deals with simple tools
and techniques, which will help a student in data collection, presentation, analysis and drawing
inferences about various statistical hypotheses.
