Contents:

TOC 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.

Summary: 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.
