Mathematics for Economists: An Elementary Survey

Certain mathematical topics are essential for understanding of economics. At postgraduate level, many universities have a compulsory paper on mathematics applicable to economics. This book gives a survey, essentially of four important topics relevant to economics: calculus, differential/difference equations, matrix algebra and statistical concepts. Table of Contents Preface.
