Mathematics for Economics

This paperback edition is not available in the U.S. and Canada. This book
offers a comprehensive presentation of the mathematics required to tackle problems
in economic analysis. To give a better understanding of the mathematical concepts,
the text follows the logic of the development of mathematics rather than that of an
economics course. After a review of the fundamentals of sets, numbers, and
functions, the book covers limits and continuity, the calculus of functions of one
variable, linear algebra, multivariate calculus, and dynamics. To develop the
student's problem-solving skills, the book works through a large number of examples
and economic applications. The second edition includes simple game theory,
l'Hôpital's rule, Leibniz's rule, and a more intuitive development of the
Hamiltonian. An instructor's manual is available.
