5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent for its indended audience,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mathematics for Economics and Finance: Methods and Modelling (Paperback)
This book is great for undergraduate economics students who need to brush up on essential calculus and matrix algebra. It's absolutely packed with worked examples to get your problem solving skills up to speed. It's also a bargain in paperback. However, it is not a comprehensive mathematical economics textbook. I found it very useful up to the advanced undergraduate level, but for graduate level work in economics you will need something a bit more rigorous.

Should be Required Reading,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mathematics for Economics and Finance: Methods and Modelling (Paperback)
I'm not going to pretend to be a stellar mathematician. Calc 1 was a breeze but multivariable calc was way beyond me (so beyond me that I dropped it). However, calculus is, unfortunately, crucial for economics (my major), and getting some supplementary literature was the best choice I made. I don't think this is going to help anyone learn about auction theory or give anyone a substantial understanding of the subject of economics. This is more like a fusion of math text and economics literature, guiding the reader through several practical, undergraduate-level problems. In my opinion, this makes the mathematics involved in economics digestible.

Good but not comprehensive,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mathematics for Economics and Finance: Methods and Modelling (Paperback)
This is a good textbook on explaining mathematics for economics gradually. However, it does not contain enough further details on certain topics such as optimization, game theory, linear programming. But it is worth reading if you are starting your undergraduate program in Economics.
