Mathematics for Economists (Economic Theory, Econometrics, and Mathematical Economics)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This text contains the mathematical material necessary as background for the topics covered in advanced microeconomics courses. It focuses on two key components of microeconomics - optimization subject to constraints and the development of comparative statistics. Assuming familiarity with calculus of one variable and basic linear algebra, the text allows more extensive coverage of additional topics like constrained optimization, the chain rule, Taylor's theorem, line integrals and dynamic programming. It contains numerous examples that illustrate economics and mathematical situations, many with complex solutions.
From the Back Cover
Mathematics for Economists focuses on two key components of microeconomics: optimization subject to constraints and the development of comparative statics. It assumes the reader is familiar with calculus of one variable and basic linear algebra, thus allowing more extensive coverage of additional topics, such as constrained optimization, the chain rule, Taylor's theorem, line integrals, and dynamic programming.
