Description
This highly-successful manual is the first to present in one volume all of the mathematical formulas and theorems commonly used by economists. It will thus be indispensable to economists, researchers, and students who are in need of exact statements of mathematical results. The third edition has been extensively revised and contains more than 250 new formulas, as well as many new figures.
