Economics for Mathematicians by J W S Cassels
This is the expanded notes of a course intended to introduce students specializing in mathematics to some of the central ideas of traditional economics. The book should be readily accessible to anyone with some training in university mathematics; more advanced mathematical tools are explained in the appendices. Thus this text could be used for undergraduate mathematics courses or as supplementary reading for students of mathematical economics.J.W.S.'s Biography J.W. Cassels S.Cassels (known to his friends as Ian, the Gaelic form of his first name) was born on July 11, 1922, in the attractive cathedral city of Durham, to mixed English-Scottish parents. With a first-class degree from Edinburgh, he began research in Cambridge in 1946 under the supervision of L. J.Mordell, who had just taken over from G.
In the Sadleirian Chair of Pure Mathematics, H.Hardy. In 1949, he received his PhD and was made a Trinity College Fellow. He returned to Cambridge after a year in Manchester and was appointed Sadleirian Professor in 1967. From 1969 to 1984, he was the Head of the Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics.
Cassels has produced a variety of expository publications, including: - An introduction to diophantine approximations- Rational quadratic forms- Economics for mathematicians- Local fields- Lectures on elliptic curves- Prolegomena to a middlebrow arithmetic of curves of genus 2 (with E. V.Flynn is a fictional character.
