Beschreibung

A reader-friendly introduction to the essential principles in Mathematics for economics and business, whether you are new to economics or looking for comprehensive self-study material. Mathematics for Economics and Business, 10th edition by Ian Jacques, is the essential resource for studying Mathematics as part of your economics, management or business studies courses.

Ideal for first-year students in economics and those interested in comprehensive self-study, this book will guide you step-by-step through the key mathematical concepts and techniques you need to succeed, regardless of your level or prior quantitative knowledge.

With its accessible and informal writing style, the book is designed to allow you to progress at your own pace. The worked examples and several new case studies throughout each chapter further illustrate how mathematical concepts and techniques relate to the business world, encouraging you to solve real-world problems yourself.

Key features include:

A wealth of examples, practice exercises and self-test questions to help you check your understanding of the topics.
Longer exam-style problems to help you revise and improve your exam ability.
New material that focuses on the second-order conditions for Lagrange multipliers and a new section on Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients.
