Maths for Economics

by Geoff Renshaw

Maths for Economics provides a solid foundation in mathematical principles and methods for economics and business students. It aims to build self-confidence in maths, by adopting a user-friendly style and by reinforcing learning at each step through worked examples and test exercises. The book
assumes no prior knowledge of mathematics or economics and the author devotes part one to the revision and consolidation of basic skills in arithmetic, algebra and equation solving. From here there is a carefully calculated learning gradient, increasing in mathematical sophistication as the book
progresses, designed to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the concepts for any student.

In this latest edition there is a new 4 color design intended to enhance the pedagogical features in the chapters. Extra material on advanced topics such as Taylor's theorum and comparative statics will be available on the Online Resource Center.
