Researches Into The Mathematical Principles Of The Theory Of Wealth (1897)

Researches Into The Mathematical Principles Of The Theory Of Wealth is a book written by Augustin Cournot and originally published in 1897. The book is a comprehensive study of the mathematical principles underlying the theory of wealth, with a particular focus on economic theory and its mathematical foundations. Cournot was a French mathematician and economist who made significant contributions to both fields, and this book is considered one of his most important works.The book is divided into two main parts. The first part deals with the mathematical principles of economic theory, including the concept of utility, the theory of exchange, and the theory of production. Cournot uses mathematical equations and models to explain these concepts, providing a rigorous and analytical approach to economic theory.The second part of the book focuses on the application of these mathematical principles to real-world economic problems. Cournot examines issues such as monopolies, taxation, and international trade, using mathematical models to analyze their effects on the economy. He also discusses the limitations of economic theory and the challenges of applying mathematical models to complex economic systems.Overall, Researches Into The Mathematical Principles Of The Theory Of Wealth is a highly influential work that helped establish the use of mathematical models in economic theory. It remains a valuable resource for economists and mathematicians interested in the mathematical foundations of economic theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
