This text progressively develops the mathematical tools students need to perform economic analysis and assumes the student has a knowledge of calculus and intermediate microeconomic skills. There is a careful integration of the mathematics with the presentation of economics, with emphasis on those techniques most widely used by economists. Examples clearly illustrate the crucial points and students are shown the usefulness of mathematics in economic science. The text has a flexible organisation and a useful review chapter on calculus. Problems are provided at the end of each chapter.
