Aðgengileg kynning á helstu undirstöðum stærðfræði fyrir hagfræði og viðskipti, hvort sem þú ert að stíga þín fyrstu skref í hagfræði eða leitar að efni til sjálfsnáms. Tíunda útgáfa Mathematics for Economics and Business eftir Ian Jacques er ómissandi þegar stærðfræði er hluti af námi í hagfræði, stjórnun eða viðskiptafræði. Bókin hentar sérstaklega nemendum á fyrsta ári og þeim sem vilja læra á eigin spýtur, og leiðir þig skref fyrir skref í gegnum þau stærðfræðilegu hugtök og aðferðir sem þarf til að ná árangri, óháð því hversu sterkur grunnur í tölulegum greinum er fyrir hendi.
Framsetningin er aðgengileg og óformleg svo þú getir farið á þínum hraða. Leyst dæmi og ný raundæmi í hverjum kafla sýna hvernig stærðfræðileg hugtök og aðferðir tengjast atvinnulífinu og hvetja þig til að leysa raunveruleg verkefni sjálfur. Bókin býður upp á fjölda dæma, æfinga og sjálfsprófa til að ganga úr skugga um að efnið hafi skilað sér.
Þá eru lengri prófverkefni til upprifjunar, nýtt efni um annars stigs skilyrði fyrir Lagrange-margfaldara og nýr kafli um Lorenz-ferla og Gini-stuðla.
A reader-friendly introduction to the essential principles in Mathematics for economics and business, whether you are new to economics or looking for comprehensive self-study material. Mathematics for Economics and Business, 10th edition by Ian Jacques, is the essential resource for studying Mathematics as part of your economics, management or business studies courses. Ideal for first-year students in economics and those interested in comprehensive self-study, this book will guide you step-by-step through the key mathematical concepts and techniques you need to succeed, regardless of your level or prior quantitative knowledge.
With its accessible and informal writing style, the book is designed to allow you to progress at your own pace. The worked examples and several new case studies throughout each chapter further illustrate how mathematical concepts and techniques relate to the business world, encouraging you to solve real-world problems yourself. Key features include: A wealth of examples, practice exercises and self-test questions to help you check your understanding of the topics.
Longer exam-style problems to help you revise and improve your exam ability. New material that focuses on the second-order conditions for Lagrange multipliers and a new section on Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients.
