Basic Mathematics for Economists

Today's economics is an increasingly mathematical subject but not everyone who wishes to study it can be expected to have the necessary mathematical background. This book covers the basic mathematics necessary for degree courses in Economics and related subjects and is particularly suitable for students without A-level mathematics. Fundamental arithmetical and algebraic techniques are revised and new mathematical methods are gradually introduced in the context of economic applications. Particular attention is paid to resource allocation and financial decision making problems within the firm, together with applications using Lotus 1-2-3.Rosser, Mike is the author of 'Basic Mathematics for Economists', published 2003 under ISBN 9780415267847 and ISBN 0415267846.
