Mathematics for Economists, a new text for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in economics, is a thoroughly modern treatment of the mathematics that underlies economic theory.

An abundance of applications to current economic analysis, illustrative diagrams, thought-provoking exercises, careful proofs, and a flexible organization-these are the advantages that Mathematics for Economists brings to today’s classroom.

Great foundation, needs supplements

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

A good chunk of this textbook can be understood in isolation, but many of the lessons move too quickly to avoid the need for supplemental lessons from other sources. Many of the sections build on earlier sections, so it's tough to just use as needed if you don't first understand more basic calculus, linear algebra...etc.

Answer key is wrong and some problems do not have literal solutions.

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

Product in good condition, but answer guide to chapter questions is inaccurate. Some chapter questions cannot be solved by means taught in the chapter, and other questions literally do not have a solution. Not appropriate for self learning purposes

Solid, Yet Somewhat Outdated Book

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2014

Verified Purchase

So far, I don't have many qualms with this book. It seems to fairly easily and in understandable terms teach economic math. However, after reading the first few chapters I have noticed the book expects a considerable established knowledge of math, especially notation. Without that introduction, it might be difficult for a reader to quickly read through the text. The second issue: the book might be improved by some real-world examples and anecdotes, which are more prevalent in modern textbooks. Lastly, the book can come off as a "wall-of-text", which some readers might find unappealing; a characteristic that has also changed with new iterations of textbooks. Other than that, worth the relatively small price tag.

Good book and reasonable price!

I bought this as a required textbook for my first year PhD course, am loving it as it has rich content of mathematical foundation!

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2009

Verified Purchase

I majored in Math, so, based on the title of the book, I figured that I'd never need it when I started taking PhD-level economics courses. How wrong I was. Many of the topics that are the bread-and-butter of mathematical economics (concavity and convexity, Kuhn-Tucker optimization) simply never came up in my undergraduate courses. This book explained them clearly and intuitively.

If you're starting graduate studies in economics, then I'd also strongly recommend Sundaram's A First Course in Optimization Theory . Its subject matter is mostly a subset of Mathematics for Economists, but optimization an often-tricky topic that you'll need to master.

Reviewed in Canada on January 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

it's a nice little encyclopedia for going calc 1 though some RA and topology.. But of the advanced subjects it doesn't really become useful past the intro level. It's nice to have on the shelf, maybe my rating is a bit harsh, but I found it to be minimally useful. Much better off with a full library of mathematics on each topic... If you have that, or just a good math background, then this book will offer very little added value...
