This book about mathematics and methodology for economics is the
result of the lifelong experience of the authors. It is written
for university students as well as for students of applied
sciences. This self-contained book does not assume any previous
knowledge of high school mathematics and helps understanding the
basics of economic theory-building. Starting from set theory it
thoroughly discusses linear and non-linear functions,
differential equations, difference equations, and all necessary
theoretical constructs for building sound economic models. The
authors also present a solid introduction to linear optimisation
and game theory using production systems. A detailed discussion
on market equilibrium, in particular on Nash Equilibrium, and on
non-linear optimisation is also provided. Throughout the book the
student is well supplied with numerous examples, some 2000
problems and their solutions to apply the knowledge to economic
theories and models.
