In this video I provide a very brief summary of the basics of optimization theory, which we will use in our advanced level Econ courses: Derivative, First and second order conditions for optimization of a function with single variable.

Excellent maths notes. Can I suggest a video on convex sets, concave functions and finishing with a proof of uniqueness of a maximizer of a concave function over a convex set. Very helpful result in all of economics.
