Ian Jacques – författare

A reader-friendly introduction to the essential principles in Mathematics for economics and business, whether you are new to economics or looking for comprehensive self-study material.

Mathematics for Economics and Business, 10th edition by Ian Jacques, is the essential resource for studying Mathematics as part of your economics, management or business studies courses.

Ideal for first-year students in economics and those interested in comprehensive self-study, this book will guide you step-by-step through the key mathematical concepts and techniques you need to succeed, regardless of your level or prior quantitative knowledge.

With its accessible and informal writing style, the book is designed to allow you to progress at your own pace. The worked examples and several new case studies throughout each chapter further illustrate how mathematical concepts and techniques relate to the business world, encouraging you to solve real-world problems yourself.

Key features include:

A wealth of examples, practice exercises and self-test questions to help you check your understanding of the topics. Longer exam-style problems to help you revise and improve your exam ability. New material that focuses on the second-order conditions for Lagrange multipliers and a new section on Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients.

Welcome to Economics Express – a series of short books to help you:

·    take exams with confidence

·    prepare and deliver successful assignments

·    understand quickly

·    revise and prepare effectively.

 

As you embark on your economic journey, this series of books will be your helpful companion.  They are not meant to replace your lectures, textbooks, seminars or any other sources suggested by your lecturers.  Rather, as you come to an exam or an assignment, they will help you to revise and prepare effectively. 

 

Whatever form your assessment might take, each book in the series will help you to build up the skills and knowledge you will need to maximise your performance. Each topic-based chapter will outline the key information and analysis, provide sample questions with responses, and give you the assessment advice and exam tips you will need to produce effective assessments based on these core topics. 

 

A companion website provides supporting resources for self testing, assessment, exam practice and answers to questions in the book.

This book is primarily intended for undergraduates in mathematics, the physical sciences and engineering. It introduces students to most of the techniques forming the core component of courses in numerical analysis. The text is divided into eight chapters which are largely self-contained. However, with a subject as intricately woven as mathematics, there is inevitably some interdependence between them. The level of difficulty varies and, although emphasis is firmly placed on the methods themselves rather than their analysis, we have not hesitated to include theoretical material when we consider it to be sufficiently interesting. However, it should be possible to omit those parts that do seem daunting while still being able to follow the worked examples and to tackle the exercises accompanying each section. Familiarity with the basic results of analysis and linear algebra is assumed since these are normally taught in first courses on mathematical methods. For reference purposes a list of theorems used in the text is given in the appendix.
