An Introduction to Mathematical Analysis for Economic Theory and Econometrics Hardcover - 2009

From the rear cover

"I've struggled in teaching a math for economics course for several years without an appropriate text. This book will remedy this problem and, more generally, will fill a gap that has existed in the profession for at least a decade."--L. Joe Moffitt, University of Massachusetts

"This book will prove extremely useful for anyone who wants to learn mathematical economics in an accessible and intuitive fashion, while still tackling advanced concepts. The range of topics is impressive, with many illuminating examples. An excellent text!"--Jaksa Cvitanic, California Institute of Technology

"This book makes accessible an extraordinary amount of mathematics used in economics and carries it to a high level. By means of illustrative examples, the authors succeed in explaining most of the main ideas of economic theory. This is an important resource for economists and an excellent text for mathematics courses for economic graduate students."--Truman F. Bewley, Yale University

"A much-needed textbook for graduate students and a useful desk reference for researchers, this book is of tremendous value to the economics profession because it bridges abstract mathematics and concrete economic applications. Given the current technical level required in research, knowledge of materials covered in this book is indispensable for graduate students."--Han Hong, Stanford University

"Without ever sacrificing rigor, the authors have a style that will help students trying to decipher arcane mathematical ideas. I recommend this book to students."--Richard P. McLean, Rutgers University
