This text offers an ideal approach for economics and business students seeking to understand the mathematics relevant to them. Each chapter demonstrates basic mathematical techniques, while also explaining the economic analysis and business context where each is used. Although the book is complete in itself, it also encourages students to develop their understanding of both mathematics and economics by using the interactive CD-ROM in the back of the book. This CD-ROM includes the award-winning MathEcon software, Excel files, Powerpoint slides, all definitions and 'remember' boxes, and additional practice questions.
