Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis (FOURTH EDITION)

Аннотация

The subject matter that modern economics students are expected to master makes significant mathematical demands. This is true even of the less technical “applied” literature that students will be expected to read for courses in fields such as public finance, industrial organization, and labour economics, amongst several others. Indeed, the most relevant literature typically presumes familiarity with several important mathematical tools, especially calculus for functions of one and several variables, as well as a basic understanding of multivariable optimization problems with or without constraints. Linear algebra is also used to some extent in economic theory, and a great deal more in econometrics.
