"At last, a mathematical
methods book that clearly motivates each tool through prominent economic examples without
sacrificing comprehensiveness or rigor. The multitude of applications-derived from labor
economics, public finance, macroeconomics, and international trade, to name just a few of
the areas visited-admirably serves to engage and instruct the student."
Maurice Obstfeld, Class of 1958 Professor of Economics, University of
California at Berkeley
"This book should be a
big hit with students and instructors alike. By skillfully interweaving a variety of
compelling economic examples, Michael Klein makes his presentation of core mathematical
methods come to life." Jeremy Stein, JC Penney Professor of Management, MIT,
Sloan School of Business
MATHEMATICAL METHODS for
