Panik, M: Mathematical Analysis and Optimization for Economi

"Mathematics plays a vital role in providing the logical and foundational basis for several other branches of knowledge. This is particularly true in fields such as economics. Attempting to understand economics without a reasonable grip on mathematics is unwise.

[. . .] The book, Mathematical Analysis and Optimization for Economists, is written with a two-fold intention-on one hand, it envisages making the power and usefulness of contemporary mathematical methodologies evident to the students of economics, and on the other, it attempts at illustrating how these techniques or methodologies could be employed in the solutions of macroeconomic problems. [. . .] The book contains a good number of references for further reading and a very rich index is appended for a quick look-up. It could safely be classified as an intermediate-level textbook. [. . .] it is a very rich source of literature on mathematical analysis and optimization for economists."
