Product Description
Without expecting any particular background of the reader, this book covers graphs and relations, sequences and limits, partial derivatives, optimization, vectors, and matrix algebra. Throughout, the stress is firmly on how the mathematics relates to economics, and this is illustrated with copious examples and exercises that will foster depth of understanding.

 Excellent for its indended audience February 21, 2001

This book is great for undergraduate economics students who need to brush up on essential calculus and matrix algebra. It's absolutely packed with worked examples to get your problem solving skills up to speed. It's also a bargain in paperback. However, it is not a comprehensive mathematical economics textbook. I found it very useful up to the advanced undergraduate level, but for graduate level work in economics you will need something a bit more rigorous.
Should be Required Reading February 26, 2004

I'm not going to pretend to be a stellar mathematician. Calc 1 was a breeze but multivariable calc was way beyond me (so beyond me that I dropped it). However, calculus is, unfortunately, crucial for economics (my major), and getting some supplementary literature was the best choice I made. I don't think this is going to help anyone learn about auction theory or give anyone a substantial understanding of the subject of economics. This is more like a fusion of math text and economics literature, guiding the reader through several practical, undergraduate-level problems. In my opinion, this makes the mathematics involved in economics digestible.

This book is fantastic, is used in the Cambridge Tripos and at LSE. very good if your are a fine mathematician.
 Good but not comprehensive June 8, 2002

This is a good textbook on explaining mathematics for economics gradually. However, it does not contain enough further details on certain topics such as optimization, game theory, linear programming. But it is worth reading if you are starting your undergraduate program in Economics.
Great text but.... October 4, 2007

I found this text an essential undergrad economics book. Economics is very quantitative in practice and therefore, should be well understood. If your math background is slightly weaker (whether undergrad or grad), this book eases you into the material. There are numerous mathematical errors in this book though, so beware! Maybe it is good practice to be able to cite the errors but you can not rely on each solution, unfortunately.
