Fundamental methods of mathematical economics / Alpha C. Chiang, Kevin Wainwright. - 4th ed, International ed. - Boston, Massachesetts : McGraw-Hill, c2005. - xix, 688 p : ill. ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references :p. (659-661)and index.
The nature of mathematical economics -- Economic models -- Equilibrium analysis in economics -- Linear models and matrix algebra -- Linear models and matrix algebra (continued) -- Comparative statics and the concept of derivative -- Rules of differentiation and their use in comparative statics -- Comparative-static analysis of general-function models -- Optimization : a special variety of equilibrium analysis -- Exponential and logarithmic functions -- The case of more than one choice variable -- Optimization with equality constraints -- Further topics in optimization -- Economic dynamics and integral calculus -- Continuous time : first-order differential equations -- Higher-order differential equations -- Discrete time : first-order difference equations -- Higher-order difference equations -- Simulationeous differential equations and difference equations -- Optimal control theory
It has been 20 years since the last edition of this classic text. Kevin Wainwright, a long time user of the text (British Columbia University and Simon Fraser University), has executed the perfect revision--he has updated examples, applications and theory without changing the elegant, precise presentation style of Alpha Chiang. Readers will find the wait was worthwhile
