About this title

Synopsis

A solved-problem introduction to basic concepts in calculus, differential equations, matrix algebra, and linear programming as applied to economics. In this edition, calculator solutions will replace the use of logarithm tables. Topics such as logarithmic differentiation, area under a curve, and l'Hopital's rule, as well as simultaneous differential and difference equations are added. The first four chapters have been redone to make them more rigorous. The book assumes no mathematics background beyond high school algebra and provides students with basic mathematical tools necessary for an understanding of economics as presently taught.
