Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis

Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis introduces a complete overview of mathematical analysis tailored for students of economics and related social sciences. The book covers a wide range of topics - from elementary algebra to more advanced mathematical principles - ensuring that the core concepts taught in undergraduate mathematics for economists are fully explored and understood. Designed with an intelligent and methodical approach, the text emphasizes mathematical rigour and clear reasoning. It is enriched with numerous worked examples that initially explore the material from a purely mathematical perspective before linking the techniques to economic applications. A wealth of problems throughout the book offers ample opportunities for practice, with solutions to odd-numbered exercises provided for self-assessment. A resource ideal for undergraduate courses in mathematics for economists, this edition also serves as a valuable tool for any social science student seeking to solidify their foundational mathematical skills. Published in paperback by Prentice Hall in 2002, Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis remains a reliable and comprehensive guide for bridging the gap between mathematical theory and economic practice.
