About this title

Review:

"All the necessary tools and concepts are gradually built by looking at different markets ... Part 1 gives them the idea of the market interaction; Part II helps them understand the microstructure of the market; and in Part III they learn the macro aspect of the economy. With the many illustrations and numerical examples, students should be able to formulate firm or consumer behaviors, and solve basic equilibriums in the economy. This is very useful for them if they need to use their skills in real life ... The author has a very effective writing style. I have been looking for such a text for a long time." -- Kajal Mukhopadhyay, University of Notre Dame

From the Back Cover:

A first edition that offers a new perspective on mathematical economics. The emphasis throughout the text is not on mathematical theorems and formal proofs, but on how mathematics can enhance our understanding of the economic behavior under study. An efficient and effective writing style, placing a premium on clear explanation, builds confidence as students, move through the text.
