Writing to Learn Mathematics Intensive Economics Courses

Writing should be an integral component of mathematics intensive economic courses. The economic teacher is faced with a dilemma. If he does not use mathematics and teaches economics informally relying mainly on words and diagrams, then the students will fail to understand most current economic literature. This will hinder their academic and professional advancements. On the other hand, if he uses mathematics extensively, then the students might apply the mathematical techniques mechanically and fail to understand the economic theories and concepts behind the mathematical models. The use of writing as a complementary training tool promises a solution to the problem. Besides, it will improve the writing skill of the students and train them to communicate economic theories and concepts in a language that ordinary people can understand.
