About The Book

This comprehensive textbook by Knut Sydsaeter and Peter J. Hammond is designed to equip students with the essential mathematical tools needed to succeed as economists or business analysts in today’s world. Aimed at those with little to no previous knowledge of calculus, the book offers a step-by-step approach to mastering the mathematical concepts that form the foundation of economic theory.

The material is arranged to allow progressive learning of mathematical topics, with a focus on practical application rather than economic theory itself. The book covers a wide range of topics, including:

• Functions of One Variable: Polynomials, powers, exponentials, differentiation, limits, and optimization.

• Single Variable Optimization: Methods and concepts for optimizing functions of one variable.

• Linear Algebra: Vectors, matrices, determinants, and matrix inversion.

• Multivariable Optimization and Constrained Optimization: Tools for dealing with functions of several variables.

• Linear Programming, Difference Equations, and Differential Equations: Techniques for solving various mathematical problems encountered in economics and business.

With numerous worked examples and exercises, this book helps students develop their mathematical skills through practice and application. It is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to apply mathematical techniques to economics, business analysis, and related fields.
