With nearly 6 years since graduation this book helped to remember (and learn for the first time) many of the quantitative skills required for my heavily analytical graduate program.

The main difference between them is that in the later editions he includes some extra advanced material. Economic topics of equilibrium analysis, comparative-static analysis, economic dynamics and optimization are covered using mathematical techniques such as matrix algebra, differential equations, convex sets and mathematical programming in their solution. Kevin Wainwright (British Columbia University and Simon Fraser University), a long time user of the text, has executed the perfect revision: he has updated examples, applications and theory without changing the elegant, precise presentation style of Alpha Chiang. I purchased this book while I was doing the literature review for my PhD; it had been a few years since I had taken a calculus class, and I was coming across quite a few mathematical models in my review.We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.

Delete part 6 (Mathematical Programming) and move nonlinear programming (21) to follow Optimization with equality constraints (12). This book in the contrary explains with brilliance all the difficult concepts and by giving every-day examples connects their abstract meaning with our every day life's real problems. These mathematical methods are matrix algebra, differential and integral calculus, differential equations, difference equations, and convex sets.It is the most readable textbook I've come across on mathematics, it is unpretentious and non-elitist. Each part is started with an intuitive instruction and is closed with conclusion part which states the limitation with a certain method. These major types of economic analysis are covered: statics, comparative statics, optimization problems, dynamics, and mathematical programming.
