Product Description

Product Description

Mathematics for Economics and Business provides a thorough foundation in mathematical methods for economics, business studies and accountancy students. Assuming little prior knowledge, this informal text is a great companion for those who have not studied maths in depth before. This book truly promotes self-study as students are encouraged to tackle problems as they go along and can see fully worked examples to help their understanding. Both beginners and more advanced students will find material in this book relevant to their needs.

 



From the Back Cover

“clear logical patient style which takes the student seriously” John Spencer, formerly of Queen’s University Belfast

This market leading text is highly regarded by lecturers and students alike and has been praised for its informal, friendly style which helps students to understand and even enjoy their studies of mathematics.

Assuming little prior knowledge of the subject, Mathematics for Economics and Business promotes self-study encouraging students to read and understand topics that can, at first, seem daunting.

This text is suitable for undergraduate economics, business and accountancy students taking introductory level maths courses.

Key Features:

·        Includes numerous applications and practice problems which help students appreciate maths as a tool used to analyse real economic and business problems.

·        Solutions to all problems are included in the book.

·        Topics are divided into one- or two-hour sessions which allow students to work at a realistic pace.

·        Techniques needed to understand more advanced mathematics are carefully developed.

·        Offers an excellent introduction to Excel and Maple.

New to this edition:

·        Brand new companion website containing additional material for both students and lecturers.

·        New appendices on Implicit Differentiation and Hessian matrices for more advanced courses.

Ian Jacques was formerly a senior lecturer in the School of Mathematical and Information Sciences at Coventry University, and has considerable experience of teaching mathematical methods to students studying economics, business and accountancy.

4.0 out of 5 stars applying the maths to real world business scenarios is great, 16 Dec 2000
By Leslie Robinson "ihateajs" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
having just finished the first 3 chapters (linear equations) I can recommend this book to any person who seeks to improve their mathematics, regardless of prior knowledge. Having finished school nine years ago and never having been interested in maths until now, Ian Jacques offers an engaging 'business scenario' in introducing the subjects and step by step unfolding of the formula's make self study much easier and very rewarding

3.0 out of 5 stars A rather complete book, 24 Sep 2001
By A Customer
For a student it is worth it buying as it starts with some basic stuff that can refresh the Maths knowledge needed to understand what will come afterwards. It covers all the Maths topics that they will have during their degree, except for Statistics. It can always be a reference to have in a bookshelf in case something comes up in the near future. For a Maths teatcher it is usefull as it has examples to apply the theory we want them to learn.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good intoduction if your maths is a bit rusty, 7 Mar 2001
By A Customer
I found this book pretty helpful as it explains basic concepts from scratch, gradually building them up. It's easy to follow and a good foundation for businessy maths. it doesn't go into things like limitations of the modelling techniques though, but it helps you get to the level of maths needed for economics and business. It's not patronising, which is a problem I've encountered with other similar level texts. I'm pretty good at maths, but had forgotten some techniques and this provided a good reminder relevant to my degree, although it seems to be more like A level standard.

4.0 out of 5 stars The basics spelled out very clearly...
This is the easiest math book to understand I've read. I am still coming back to it, when I forget the rules of differentiation/integration. Read more
