This textbook concisely covers math knowledge and tools useful for
business and economics studies, including matrix analysis, basic math
concepts, general optimization, dynamic optimization, and ordinary
differential equations. Basic math tools, particularly optimization
tools, are essential for students in a business school, especially for
students in economics, accounting, finance, management, and marketing.
It is a standard practice nowadays that a graduate program in a business
school requires a short and intense course in math just before or
immediately after the students enter the program. Math in Economics aims
to be the main textbook for such a crash course.The 1st edition was
published by People's University Publisher, China. This new edition
contains an added chapter on Probability Theory along with changes and
improvements throughout.
