• Review of mathematics • Economic applications of one-variable calculus • Economic applications of multivariate calculus • Comparative statics I : One and two variables with and without optimization. • Integration, time, and uncertainty in economics. • Introduction to continuous time dynamics in one and two dimensions. • Matrices and economic theory • Comparative statics II : n variables with and without optimization. • Comparative statics III : Optimization under constraint. • Inequality constraints in optimization theory
Providing an overview of computational mathematics and a series of key economics problems using "higher mathematics", this book presents a mix of classical and contemporary economic theory. It also covers the problems of uncertainty, continuous-time dynamics, comparative statistics, and the applications of optimization methods to economics
