Further Mathematics for Economic Analysis is a companion volume to the successful and highly regarded Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis.  It finds the right balance between mathematics and economic examples, providing a text that is demanding in level and broad ranging in content, whilst remaining accessible and interesting to its target audience.This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of economics whose mathematical requirements go beyond the material usually taught in undergraduate courses.

Student: Student Manual

Instructor:  Instructor’s Manual with answers

  • Systematic treatment of the calculus of variations, optimal control theory and dynamic programming.
  • Several early chapters review and extend material in the previous book on elementary matrix algebra, multivariable calculus, and static optimization.
  • New! Coverage on optimisation transferred from Essentials of Economic analysis
  • New! Extended answers to problems are available online in a new Students Manual along with additional practice problems.

  • Answers to almost all 600 problems in the book for student self check
  • Student’s Manual with extended worked answers to selected problems in the book
