"Now in its second edition, this text offers an ideal introduction for economics and business students seeking to understand the mathematics relevant to them. Each chapter demonstrates basic mathematical techniques, while also explaining the economic analysis and business context where each technique is regularly used. By following examples and practice problems, students will learn how to use and apply each of these methods." "This updated edition features expanded summaries of economic analysis, new sections on matrix algebra and linear programming, and additional demonstrations of economics applications. Along with these new features, the book continues to separate mathematical models and economics applications into discrete sections, allowing the student to learn the mathematics needed, or proceed immediately to the economics examples." "The attached CD-ROM includes the award-winning WinEcon software, Excel files demonstrating calculations involving the use of array formulae and Solver, PowerPoint slides of definitions and "remember" boxes, and many additional practice questions."--Jacket.
