Description
Essential Mathematics for Economics and Business by Teresa Bradley is an introductory mathematics textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying economics, business and management. It takes a practical, non-rigorous approach, making core mathematical concepts accessible to students whose mathematical background is limited or rusty.
The book covers mathematical preliminaries such as algebra, equations, indices and logarithms, followed by functions, straight lines, simultaneous equations and non-linear functions with applications to markets and business. It also covers financial mathematics, including percentages, interest rates and depreciation, as well as differentiation, partial differentiation and integration. More advanced topics include matrices, determinants and difference equations.
A useful textbook for students who need to build or refresh their mathematical skills for economics, business and management, particularly where mathematical concepts need to be applied to practical commercial and economic problems.
