Topics covered include calculus, matrix algebra, probability, dynamics and static and dynamic optimisation, all illustrated by examples and problems from central areas of modern economics.

Mathematics for Economists Summary

Mathematics for Economists: An Introductory Textbook, Fifth Edition by Malcolm Pemberton

This book is a self-contained treatment of all the mathematics needed by undergraduate and masters-level students of economics, econometrics and finance. Building up gently from a very low level, the authors provide a clear, systematic coverage of calculus and matrix algebra. The second half of the book gives a thorough account of probability, dynamics and static and dynamic optimisation. The last three chapters are an accessible introduction to the rigorous mathematical analysis used in graduate-level economics. The emphasis throughout is on intuitive argument and problem-solving. All methods are illustrated by examples, exercises and problems selected from central areas of modern economic analysis. The book's careful arrangement in short chapters enables it to be used in a variety of course formats for students with or without prior knowledge of calculus, for reference and for self-study.

Mathematics for Economists Reviews

'This is the best mathematics for economists textbook that I have come across. It is very clearly written, starts at a basic level, and gradually advances all the way up to dynamic optimization in continuous time. I find that students understand dynamic economic models much better after having studied Pemberton and Rau's textbook.'
Paul S. Segerstrom, Professor of International Economics, Stockholm School of Economics
