Mathematics for Economists : An Introductory Textbook, Fifth Edition Paperback / softback

This book is a self-contained treatment of all the mathematics needed by undergraduate and masters-level students of economics, econometrics and finance.

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, dynamics and static and dynamic optimisation.

The last four chapters are an accessible introduction to the rigorous mathematical analysis used in graduate-level economics.

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. The preface and full table of contents for the new edition, together with answers to exercises and solutions to problems, are available from https://www.manchesterhive.com/mathematics-for-economists-supplementary-materials -- .
