Maths for Economics
Oxford University Press (Verlag)
978-0-19-883950-7 (ISBN)
Maths for Economics provides a comprehensive and solid foundation in core mathematical principles and methods used in economics, beginning with revisiting basic skills in arithmetic, algebra, equation solving, and slowly building to more advanced topics.
Suitable for those with a range of prior school-level expereince or more generally for those who feel they need to go back to the very basics, students can learn with confidence.
Drawing on his extensive experience of teaching in the area, the author appreciates that maths can be a daunting topic for many. As such the text is fully supports the reader by using a combination of engaging learning features including summary sections, examples to show how theory is used in practice and progress exercises, which encourage independent study. Each chapter ends with a conclusion check list to allow students to reflect on topics as they master them.
