About the book
Chiang's Fundamental Methods of Mathematical Economics is an introduction to the mathematics of economics. It starts with a review of algebra and set theory then goes on through calculus, differential equations, matrix algebra, integration. It serves well as a transition from very basic economics up to graduate level economics. Theory behind economic models is discussed and the focus is on mathematical economics, deduction, instead of econometrics and statistical inference or induction.
