Mathematics for Economists

Mathematics for Economists focuses on two key components of microeconomics: optimization subject to constraints and the development of comparative statics. It assumes the reader is familiar with calculus of one variable and basic linear algebra, thus allowing more extensive coverage of additional topics, such as constrained optimization, the chain rule, Taylor's theorem, line integrals, and dynamic programming. Key Features * Contains the mathematical material necessary as background for topics covered in graduate-level microeconomics courses * Extensively covers optimization subject to constraints and comparative statics * Features examples that illustrate economics and mathematical situations * Contains numerous problems throughout, many with complete solutions * Accessible to readers with knowledge of basic calculus and linear algebraNovshek, William is the author of 'Mathematics for Economists' with ISBN 9780125225755 and ISBN 012522575X.
