Mathematics for Economists with Applications

This comprehensive textbook provides all the key elements of the mathematical toolkit necessary for students of economics, finance and business from introductory to graduate level. Covering more topics, more economic applications and examples, and more substantial problem sets than previously published texts, the volume benefits from an unmatched comprehensiveness and avoids being overly abstract. Topics covered range from elementary to more advanced and include matrix algebra, linear programming and dynamic optimization. These techniques are always explained in the light of micro and macroeconomic phenomena and the essential place of mathematical methods in the economics curriculum is expertly underlined.
