    Salient Features

    • Offers the expertise and insights of a prominent economic theorist and a mathematician—both of whom have been teaching mathematics for economists for many years.
    • Assumes no previous knowledge of calculus, and includes (in appendices) extensive review of elementary algebra.
    • Focuses on the application of the essential mathematical ideas, rather than the economic theories which build upon them.
    • Features an abundance of examples and problems.
