Mathematics for Economists by Carl P. Simon and Blume


Mathematics for Economists PDF Download Ebook. Carl P. Simon and Blume offer modern treatment of the mathematics that underlies economic theory. An abundance of applications to current economic analysis, illustrative diagrams, thought-provoking exercises, careful proofs, and a flexible organization-these are the advantages that Mathematics for Economists brings to today’s classroom.

This text consists of comprehensive notes, tutorials and solutions for Honors level economics. Material covered includes linear algebra, comparative statics, optimization, integration and differential equations and systems of difference and differential equations, Eigen-values, complex numbers.

This is a marvelous introduction to many of the important areas of applied mathematics. The authors do a truly spectacular job of conveying the intuitive principles and pragmatic relevance of each topic, without falling into the "cookbook" trap to which many applied math texts succumb.

But my real point is that it is almost a shame that title specifies "for economists" - because this book will be extremely useful to people looking to improve their applied mathematics background for use in any number of fields. I'm a population biologist myself, and I turn to this book first when I need to brush up on a vaguely familiar subject or delve in to a new topic.

Many of the examples are indeed drawn from economics, but this is not hindrance - they are well-enough explained and defined that no economics background is required. The economics examples are so well-presented, in fact, that the relevance to problems in other fields will be very clear to even a moderately careful reader.
