Maths For Economics Paperback 4

Geoff Renshaw

Drawing on his extensive experience teaching in the area, Geoff Renshaw has developed Maths for Economics to enable students to master and apply mathematical principles and methods both in their degrees and their careers. Through the use of a gradual learning gradient and the provision of examples and exercises to constantly reinforce learning, the author has created a resource which students can use to build their confidence - whether coming from a background of a GCSE or A Level course, or more generally for students who feel they need to go back to the very basics. Knowledge is built up in small steps rather than big jumps, and once confident that they have firmly grasped the foundations, the book helps students to make the progression beyond mechanical exercises and on to the development of a maths tool-kit for the analysis of economic and business problems - an invaluable skill for their course and future employment.

Geoff Renshaw's Maths for Economics has become an important part of teaching undergraduates how mathematics plays a role in economics, and the new edition of the textbook did not disappoint. The material in the book is comprehensive and builds everything from the ground up, all the while sticking to easy-to-understand language and presentation techniques. * Dr Erkal Ersoy, Heriot-Watt University * This is a very good book, with clear explanation and plenty of examples. I am sure students would benefit from this book. * Dr Silvia Szilagyiova, York St John * I think this is an excellent textbook...I was very impressed by the clarity of explanation and the user-friendliness. This was achieved without compromising on the rigor, which is very challenging for this type of textbook. * Dr Federico Martellosio, University of Surrey *
