Fantasic, 2008-03-06
I bought this book as a supplement to my econometrics course. It is fantasic. It had been a few semesters since I'd taken my calculus and statistics courses and this really helped me brush up on the mathematical side of econometrics (pretty much the entire course...) This book was very helpful, to the point where I am now going to purchase 4 more books on various topics for review. This is a great choice and the range of topics covered is most comprehensive.

Very useful!, 2008-02-16
This is a very useful book for undergrad and graduate students in the fields of Economics and Business. For each topic, the author presents the basics of theory and then proposes several different exercises. The solutions are shown in detail which clearly helps the reader in terms of understanding the path and the reasoning behind a specific solution.

The book can be divided into six parts:
I - Introduction: chapters 1 and 2. In here the author discusses the basics you are going to need across the entire book: simultaneous equations, functions, polynomials, linear and quadratic equations.

II - Differentiation: Chapters 3 to 9. Differentiation is the key issue in this set of chapters: it is important to stress that the author included multivariable analysis (Lagrange Multipliers for instance) which adds a desirable complexity to the issues that are under discussion;

III - Linear Algebra: chapters 10 to 13. In this part, the author presents the most relevant topics in this field such as matrix inversion, determinants, eigen values and concave programming;

IV - Integration: chapters 14 and 15. The author provides a good explanation of the main integration techniques and he analyses the indefinite and the definite integral and its aplications;

V - Differential Equations and Difference Equations: chapters 16 to 19. This part includes first-order differential and difference equations, second-order differential and difference equations and simultaneous differential and difference equations. This part and the next can be consider as the most challenging issues in the entire book. I consider that as long as the reader was able to follow the reasoning and the methodologies that were used in the previous parts, these last chapters will be a very interesting challenge.

VI - Dynamic Optimization: chapters 20 and 21. The book ends with calculus of variations and otimal control theory.

As a Professor of Mathematics for Social Sciences I believe this is one of the best books available. Probably it will be important to have another book, like, for instance, Chiang, as a theoretical complement. But this book can really gets you into the wonders and logic of mathematical reasoning and mathematical tools.

Introduction to Mathematical Economics is a great book, 2007-10-13
I took 6 courses in economics in college but this book took me further than Managerial Economics did as it discussed some topics not in my college courses.

Has greatly improved my understanding of mathematical economics, 2007-09-07
This book has been a great help in understanding mathemayical economics. Each subjet starts with an explanation of how the math works. Then works each problems step by step to show how it all works together and they don't skip steps like some economics texts do. With the help of this book i am inverting matrix.
