How useful is it to use Game theory as a point/main 'thesis' for an Economics essay?

What if for instance I am able to answer the essay using Game theory, and I do so for half the essay. Is this a good thing?

This isn't something which is taught in Year 11 or Year 12 so I wouldn't recommend it.

Not even as a single point at the end? To push the essay further?

yeah ill end up being good at math?



I'm probs not going to touch the subs that i will drop (ie. most likely ancient and eco (or legal idk yet haha))

but thanks for the heads uppp.
Math is the one subject you really need to focus on in yr 11 as it builds.

Most humanities practically reset in Yr 12 anyway so you can bludge in yr 11 and still do well in yr 12.

Like I did more work in yr 11 than in Yr 10, but I didn't go massively overboard as I knew Yr 12 was where to pace things for.

Yr 12 can be a really fun year if you take up the opportunities and don't basement for the HSC. I went to camp, went overseas well technically twice in it as I was away for first two days of Term4, public speaking, debating, prefect stuff, the 18ths, the general Yr 12 hilarity...the workload of it is overhyped and I actually had the most fun in Yr 12 of all the years of HS :)

Dominating it mate!

Mine (though not as good) were:

Maths 2U: 22/23 (Silly mistake!)
Maths 3U: 20.5/26 (Ran out of time to do a four marker plus silly mistakes)
CAFS IRP: 55/55 Report, 10/10 Progress Diary, 10/10 Proposal

Getting Legal back in a couple of weeks too. Although the ones I'm waiting for the most are my University Arts Course ones..... (Belonging in the Community Subject) cause they're overdue...

Don't you appreciate Mathematics at all?
I'm not saying you should, I'm just curious to see how you view maths
It's a dry subject to me. (More so than even Business Studies)

And it's sad how it was my best subject since forever until recently.

Now its my worst subject. I never thought this would ever happen but yeah.

In junior years, even if all my other subs were crap, I could rely on maffs as a confidence booster.

It used to be my most confident subject and best subject perhaps... but those days are long gone.

I'm currently looking at the syllabus and its not very detailed it just lists the topics

It seems the first few weeks is topics you have encountered in high school maths however there is more detail to it. For 1901 that is.

you'll probably need most of the topics. But you can really revise with any good calculus textbook
