Economic theories can be expressed
in words, numbers, graphs and symbols. The existing traditional economics
textbooks cover all four methods, but the general focus is often more on
writing about the theory and methods, with few practical examples. With an
increasing number of universities having introduced mathematical economics at
undergraduate level, Basic mathematics
for economics students aims to fill this gap in the field.
Basic mathematics for economics students begins with a comprehensive chapter on basic mathematical concepts and methods (suitable for self-study, revision or tutorial purposes) to ensure that students have the necessary foundation. The book is written in an accessible style and is extremely practical. Numerous mathematical economics examples and exercises are provided as well as fully worked solutions using numbers, graphs and symbols.
