Mathematics for Business Economics

Mathematics for Business Economics is intended for starting (business) economics students. The book repeats high school mathematics, but also extends to new domains. The focus is on economic applications: throughout the book many examples are given from microeconomics, modern portfolio theory, inventory management and statistics. A recurrent theme in these examples is the athematical technique of optimization. For a better understanding this book contains a large number of exercises. Furthermore, there is a freely accessible e-learning environment, www.wiskundeoptiu.nl/business-economics, where all mathematical topics are explained using text, multiple choice questions and films. Together, the book and e-learning environment provide a solid mathematical foundation for your study (business) economics. Prof. dr. Herbert Hamers is professor in Game Theory and Operations Research at Tilburg University. Dr. Bob Kaper was professor in Mathematics at Tilburg University. Dr. John Kleppe was affiliated as lecturer mathematics at Tilburg University. A Dutch language edition of this book is also available: Wiskunde voor bedrijfseconomen (ISBN: 9789024408481).
