I bought this book to review some maths and get ready for a master in economics. It was very useful. The topics are explained in a very accessible way.

There are a lot of examples and solved exercises that tourned to be useful for an advanced course in Microeconomics and/or Macroeconomics.

I think this book is a "must" for who knows some basic in mathematics and want to learn more.

This book is highly-recommended for upper-level undergraduate/first-year graduate students in economics. It seems that the authors know well the mathematical requirements needed for students majoring in economics. The writing is clear and the proofs are rigorously explained. Even the answers to selected problems are explained thoroughly. The problems are quite easy though, but I think it is a very good way of building confidence for students who are not so mathematically-inclined. For students who find Chiang's textbook outdated and Simon/Blume's textbook somewhat incomplete, this is a much better alternative.

Great book that explains things well. Some of the examples could use proofs to flesh out exactly how they arrived at the conclusions, but over all a good explanations of difficult topics.
