It provides a self-contained, rigorous treatment of most of the concepts and techniques required to follow the standard first-year theory sequence in macroeconomics and macroeconomics. The topics covered include an introduction to analysis in metric spaces, differential calculus, comparative statics, convexity, static optimization, dynamical systems and dynamic optimization. The book includes a large number of applications to standard economic models and more than two hundred problems that are fully worked out."--BOOK JACKET UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam029/98052086.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/cam025/98052086.html UR - http://www.worldcat.org/title/mathematical-methods-and-models-for-economists/oclc/40489125&referer=brief_results UR - http://lib.ewubd.edu/ebook/7203 ER -
