  Many years of teaching led Geoff Renshaw to develop Maths for Economics as a resource which builds your self-confidence in maths by using a gradual learning gradient and constantly reinforcing learning with examples and exercises. Some students embarking on this module feel that they have lost their confidence in maths, or perhaps never had any in the first place. The author has designed the book so that whether you have a maths A level, GCSE, or perhaps feel that you need to go back over the very basics, knowledge is built up in small steps, not big jumps. Once you are confident that you have firmly grasped the foundations, this book will help you to make the progression beyond the mechanical exercises and into the development of a maths tool-kit for the analysis of economic and business problems. This is a skill which will prove valuable for your degree and for your future employers.

  Maths for Economics provides a solid foundation in mathematical principles and methods for economics and business students. It aims to build self-confidence in maths, by adopting a de-mystifying, user-friendly style and by reinforcing learning at each step through worked examples and test exercises. The book assumes little prior knowledge and its first section makes it suitable whether or not students have studies maths at A-level. Part I revises and consolidates the basic skills in algebraic manipulation, solving equations and curve sketching at GCSE level. Better-qualified students can skip this and proceed directly to Parts II-IV, which develop and apply the core mathematical techniques required by typical first degree courses in economics. Part V contains some more specialised topics and some tasters of more advanced techniques. This book will help students acquire the core mathematical skills that they will need to succeed in business and economics degrees.
