Mathematics for Economists is intended primarily as a supplement for undergraduate and graduate students in economics and business. In addition, its comprehensive nature makes it appropriate for use by students of mathematics and the social sciences; it will also serve as a useful guide in preparing for the mathematical proficiency exams. Mathematics for Economists is the newest title in the Schaum's Outline Seriesin Economics. The series includes Microeconomic Theory, Macroeconomic Theory. Development Economics, and International Economics, as well as the forthcoming Principles of Economics.
