Product Description
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.

Good buy
The book arrived in a timely manner and the condition was just as described. Very satisfied!
mathematics for economics
this is one of the most clear and complete textbook on mathematics for economists. I hope in a new edition devoted to implement the book, perhaps published in two volumes.

Book for Class
I bought this book for my class, Mathematics for economists. Luckily, I didn't have to use it much. However, when I did want to use it, it was not helpful. Instead it confused me more, the explanations are aweful and there are not enough examples. It did have great definitions though. Shipping was quick and the service was great.
