Mathematics for Economics

by Michael Hoy, John Livernois

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.

If you're into equations and economics, look no further, because this has both equations AND economics, combined. If you want to apply economics AND math to current things, "Mathematics for Economics." If you want to have something just to read and relax while you eat? "Mathematics for Economics." If you want to understand the impact that Covid-19 had on the economy, "Mathematics for Economics." If you want to take over the world? "Mathematics for Economics." If you want to become the best basketball player, "Mathematics for Economics." How to get the girls? "Mathematics for Economics." Thanks for helping me pass Econ 101

It explained pretty well and gave lots of practice problems. However, the answer key is wrong??? Thankfully, my professor showed the correct solutions…

Pretty good for undergraduate economics students.
