Maths for Economics provides a solid foundation in mathematical principles and methods for economics and business students. It aims to build self-confidence in maths, by adopting a de-mystifying, user-friendly style and by reinforcing learning at each step through worked examples and test exercises. The book assumes little prior knowledge and its first section makes it suitable whether or not students have studies maths at A-level.

Part I revises and consolidates the basic skills in algebraic manipulation, solving equations and curve sketching at GCSE level. Better-qualified students can skip this and proceed directly to Parts II-IV, which develop and apply the core mathematical techniques required by typical first degree courses in economics. Part V contains some more specialised topics and some "tasters" of more advanced techniques.

This book will help students acquire the core mathematical skills that they will need to succeed in business and economics degrees.
