4.0 out of 5 stars Best suited for advanced graduate students, August 19, 2010

This review is from: Mathematical Methods of Game and Economic Theory: Revised Edition (Dover Books on Mathematics) (Paperback)

Unless you've had two or three years of economic theory or mathematics graduate study, you are unlikely to get anything from this book. The description doesn't indicate the relevant audience, so as a mathematically-inclined first-year PhD student, I was surprised when I couldn't get more than a few pages in.

I gave four stars because it seems like it would be useful if you specialize in general equilibrium theory or mathematical economics, but be sure you meet the prerequisites.
