Introductory Mathematical Economics, 2/e begins with an overview of necessary computational mathematics, then continues with a series of key economics problems using "higher mathematics." The book presents a mix of classical and contemporary economic theory, covering the problems of uncertainty, continuous-time dynamics, comparative statistics, and the applications of optimization methods to economics.
作者简介 Wade Hands is at University of Puget Sound.
