Synopsis

Written for first-year undergraduates on economics and business courses, this book offers the ideal approach to understanding the mathematics relevant to them. It sets out all the basic mathematical techniques and explains the economic analysis or business context where each is used. The book is structured with mathematical methods and economics applications in separate sections. This allows students either first to learn the mathematics needed in a particular chapter or to proceed immediately to the economics examples, depending on their mathematical backgrounds. Although the book is complete in itself, it also encourages students to develop their understanding of both mathematics and economics by using the interactive screens on the MathEcon CD-ROM. These screens are taken from the award-winning WinEcon courseware. A 'Virtual Workbook' supports the book with a range of interactive exercises.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"It sets out to describe all the mathematical techniques that a student on the first and second year of a degree programme would need to cope with an economics module. They are well explained and written in simple English. At the end of each chapter there is a set on practice problems. Full explanations to each answer are provided and readers will find this to be particularly helpful. The book covers all the areas one would expect, from economic functions and equations through to full and partial differentiation and integration. For this reason the book would serve as a useful reference source for any economics student. A CD–Rom, Selections from the WinEcon Software Mathematics for Economics and Business Applications, that comes with the book, instals very easily and contains excellent tutorials. Starting from the most basic mathematics, it allows students to progress at their own speed. It is set out in such a way that tutorials in an area area in which students are proficient can be skipped and one can move on to those in which there are difficulties. All in all an excellent book." TLS 25 February 2000.

Quatrième de couverture

Written for first–year undergraduates on economics and business courses, this book offers the ideal approach to understanding the mathematics relevant to them. It sets out all the basic mathematical techniques and explains the economic analysis or business context where each is used. By following the worked examples and tackling the practice problems, students will discover how to use and apply each of the techniques.

The book is structured with mathematical methods and economics applications in separate sections. This allows students either first to learn the mathematics needed in a particular chapter or to proceed immediately to the economics examples, depending on their mathematical backgrounds.

Although the book is complete in itself, it also encourages students to develop their understanding of both mathematics and economics by using the interactive screens on the MathEcon CD–ROM. These screens are taken from the award–winning WinEcon courseware.
