Mathematics in Economics Summary

Mathematics in Economics: Models and Methods by Adam Ostaszewski

A valuable guide to the mathematical apparatus that underlies so much of modern economics. The approach to mathematics is rigorous and the mathematical techniques are always presented in the context of the economics problem they are used to solve. Students can gain insight into, and familiarity with, the mathematical models and methods involved in the transition from a phenomenona to quantitative statement.

Mathematics in Economics Reviews

I wish Adam Ostaszewski good luck with this book. May it enjoy the success it deserves. Ken Binmore, University of Michigan I believe Mathematics in Economics to be an excellent book, which is much needed in first year UK degree programmes. Its coverage of syllabus is better than its rivals and its treatment of the economics and the mathematics indicates that considerable rigour is needed to do things properly. Martin Cripps, University of Warwick In this book the build--up in confidence is done gradually by means of carefully chosen examples. Throughout the book the approach to mathematics is rigorous, and excellent use is made of graphs and other figures. A valuable guide to the ways in which mathematics provides a basis for modern economics. Tony Whitford
