The focus of this book is on how mathematics helps with economic analysis and modeling. Key economic principles and conclusions are derived and highlighted using math. This helps reinforce the learning about economics that students already have and creates a link between their other economics studies and the use of mathematics

This book does a great job by teaching how mathematics used in economic models both reveals and is enlivened by economic intuition." - Sujoy Mukerji, Oxford University, UK
