Mathematics for Economics by Mik Wisniewski
This book shows how mathematics is used in developing economic theory and in applied economic analysis. The text gradually develops the mathematical skills needed by students and allows them to progress at their own pace. A wide variety of examples shows how, and why, the application of mathematics has become essential to economists.
"In my several years of teaching mathematical methods in undergraduate economics I have found that what the students find particularly hard and difficult to grasp is not the mathematics itself but how to make mathematics "sing" economicsThis book does a great job by teaching how mathematics used in economic models both reveals and is enlivened by economic intuition." - Sujoy Mukerji, Oxford University, UK "Maths is necessary to learn and understand modern economic theory: Wisniewski's book is ideal for economics and business students that do not want to get lost in mathematical technicalities but aim at fully understanding the economic mechanisms behind it. The book covers a wide range of topics, the incremental structure allows students to start from the very basics to gradually reach the appropriate level, and all the instruments are presented simply and intuitively with an eye always on the economic applications." Carlo Reggiani, The University of Manchester, UK
