Essential Mathematics for Economics and Business Zusammenfassung

Essential Mathematics for Economics and Business Teresa Bradley

Now established as one of the leading introductory texts for students studying these subjects, this new edition combines a non-rigorous approach to the subject with applications in economics and business. Fundamental mathematical concepts are explained as simply and briefly as possible, using a wide selection of worked examples, graphs and real-world applications.
