by Malcolm Pemberton, Nicholas Rau
Paperback / softback
Description
This book is a self-contained treatment of all the mathematics needed by undergraduate and masters-level students of economics.
Building up gently from a very low level, the authors provide a clear, systematic coverage of calculus and matrix algebra.
The second half of the book gives a thorough account of probability, optimisation and dynamics.The emphasis throughout is on intuitive argument and problem-solving.
All methods are illustrated by examples, exercises and problems selected from central areas of modern economic analysis. The book’s careful arrangement in short chapters enables it to be used in a variety of course formats for students with or without prior knowledge of calculus, for reference and for self-study.
This new fourth edition includes two chapters on probability theory, providing the essential mathematical background for upper-level courses on economic theory, econometrics and finance. -- .
