FUNDAMENTALS METHODS OF MATHEMATICAL ECONOMICS 4TH EDITION

Product Information

out of 5 stars The book is oriented towards students who already have a solid grasp of calculus and would like to make a revision or use it as a . I purchased this book while I was doing the literature review for my PhD; it had been a few years since I had taken a calculus class, and I was coming across quite a few mathematical models in my review. I used this book (in Spanish) at the university and haven't come across any better one despite the years. Delete part 6 (Mathematical Programming) and move nonlinear programming (21) to follow Optimization with equality constraints (12).

I bought the English version to refresh the terminology and I sincerely enjoy this book, everything is so clear and objectively described.Many mathematical economics books are very heavy to follow, and don´t actually aim to the main goal: making the student fully understand the context and mathematics behind it. The best-selling, best known text in Mathematical Economics course, Chiang teaches the basic mathematical methods indispensable for understanding current economic literature. Kevin Wainwright (British Columbia University and Simon Fraser University), a long time user of the text, has executed the perfect revision: he has updated examples, applications and theory without changing the elegant, precise presentation style of Alpha Chiang. It is the most readable textbook I've come across on mathematics, it is unpretentious and non-elitist. It involves a lot of examples from microeconomics like Duality, Roy's identity, indirect utility functions, expenditure function etc.

Ein Klassiker, der dennoch auf jedes Bücherregal eines Akademikers vom PhD Studenten aufwärts gehört. Ein kleines Manko ist, dass nach mehr als 500 Seiten kein Platz mehr ist für mehrdimensionale Systeme. Only issue is they didn't talk about the row echelon way of solving matrix- which is covered in Simon-Blume.This book in the contrary explains with brilliance all the difficult concepts and by giving every-day examples connects their abstract meaning with our every day life's real problems. These mathematical methods are introduced: matrix algebra, differential and integral calculus, differential equations, difference equations, and convex sets. Economic topics of equilibrium analysis, comparative-static analysis, economic dynamics and optimization are covered using mathematical techniques such as matrix algebra, differential equations, convex sets and mathematical programming in their solution. The focus of the exercises is in the basics: understand definitions and correctly use theorems or methods.

For mathematical economists this book covers the minimum amount of mathematics that you need, after this book you can branch out into other specializations such as advanced calculus and real analysis.With nearly 6 years since graduation this book helped to remember (and learn for the first time) many of the quantitative skills required for my heavily analytical graduate program. The main difference between them is that in the later editions he includes some extra advanced material. These major types of economic analysis are covered: statics, comparative statics, optimization problems, dynamics, and mathematical programming. I read every chapter except the last one carefully and did all the exercises whenever there are answers for them. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
