As the intersection between economics and mathematics continues to grow in both theory and practice, a solid grounding in mathematical concepts is essential for all serious students of economic theory. In this clear and entertaining volume, Rakesh V.Vohra sets out the basic concepts of mathematics as they relate to economics. The book divides the mathematical problems that arise in economic theory into three types: feasibility problems, optimality problems and fixed-point problems. Of interest to advanced students of economics as well as those seeking a greater understanding of the influence of mathematics on ‘the dismal science’. Advanced Mathematical Economics follows a long and celebrated tradition of the application of mathematical concepts to the social and physical sciences.
This concise textbook presents students with all they need for advancing in mathematical economics. Detailed yet student-friendly, Vohra's book contains chapters in, amongst others:
* Feasibility
* Convex Sets
* Linear and Non-linear Programming
* Lattices and Supermodularity.
Higher level undergraduates as well as postgraduate students in mathematical economics will find this book extremely useful in their development as economists.
