This volume presents mathematical formulas and theorems common to economics. It includes both formulas like Roy`s identity that are peculiar to economics and formulas like Leibniz's rule that are common to many areas of applied mathematics. The volume is meant to be a reference work, to be used by students in conjunction with a textbook and by researchers in need of exact statements of mathematical results. The volume is the first grouping of this material for a specifically economist audience. This third edition is extensively revised and contains more than 250 new formulas, as well as new figures.

Very nice manual, very usefull for studying. This manual has most of the formulas that an economist will need while studying for exams. Very concise and clear.

All the formulae an economist needs

Economists' Mathematical Manual is a very good book. It gives in a very concise and clear way all an economist needs as far as maths and statistics are concerned. I would recommend the purchase!

Extremely Condensed and Extremely Useful!

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2001

Sydsaeter et al. have compiled what must be the most condensed reference book in the field, given its amazingly broad scope but small number of pages. Just a few of the multitude of topics covered in this book are set theory, dynamic optimization, vector spaces, convexity, determinants, risk aversion theory, and probability distributions. The presentational format is essentially that of an extensive list, with copious notes in the margins.
The brevity of Economists' Mathematical Manual is simultaneously its greatest strength and its greatest weakness. The strength obviously lies in its diverse scope. Few books could claim to be authoritative over such a wide spectrum of subfields of economics.
Yet the lack of exposition can also be perceived as a weakness. This book is extremely useful as a reference, but first-year Ph.D. students should be warned that it should be considered supplemental only. A textbook such as Simon and Blume's Mathematics for Economists or Chiang's Fundamental Methods of Mathematical Economics should be the reference of first recourse for anyone encountering mathematical economics for the first time.

Helpful but not complete

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2006

This book is very helpful for any economist, especially for students. It includes many formulas that are common in economics. I used the book a lot during my first-year phd course and it was very helpful because it is pretty compact. However, be careful as there are some minor errors in the book. Second, I cannot recommend it if you are interested mainly in econometric theory. You will find the basic distributions and a couple of other formulas, however there are still too few formulas about GMM or Filters etc. All in all I would recommend you the book.

LE manuel

Reviewed in France on August 3, 2012

Ce bouquin est avant tout un outil pratique. Et, dans ce sens, il est absolument irréprochable. Très complet -on y traite des mathématiques de bases à des fins économiques mais aussi de finance, de probabilités et de statistiques, ainsi que de quelques pages en théorie des jeux- très précis, je ne peux que le recommander.

辞書式経済数学公式集！

Reviewed in Japan on September 16, 2006

Verified Purchase

この本を一言で表すならば、経済学で使われる数学の公式集である。

大学受験用数学公式集さながらであり、日本語訳も出ているが、原著は何度も版を重ね、ますます中身が豊富になり、進化している感がある。

現在の版でも十分満足であるが、これから様々な分野の定理や数式が登場し、整理される事を願いつつ期待を込めて星４つにした（国際貿易、確率統計、計量経済学の章はまだまだ不十分であるとはっきりいえ、絶対に載せるべき公式がたくさんあるのではないだろうか。例えば最尤法がない）
