Description
This comprehensive textbook covers advanced mathematical topics in economics, including static and dynamic optimization. It provides a thorough introduction to univariate calculus, matrix algebra, and multivariable calculus, with numerous applications to illustrate key concepts.
The book then focuses on the Lagrange multiplier technique, exploring its properties, limitations, and economic insights. Additionally, it covers dynamic programming, the calculus of variations, and the Hamiltonian conditions for optimal control problems.
Written in an accessible style, this book is ideal for final year undergraduates studying mathematics for economists courses, as well as postgraduate students seeking a thorough understanding of advanced mathematical techniques in economics.
