The present collection of formulas has been composed for students of economics or management science at universities, colleges and trade schools. It contains basic knowledge in mathematics, financial mathematics and statistics in a compact and clearly arranged form. This volume is meant to be a reference work to be used by students of undergraduate courses together with a textbook, and by researchers in need of exact statements of mathematical results. People dealing with practical or applied problems will also find this collection to be an efficient and easy-to-use work of reference.

The practice of economics requires a wide ranging knowledge of formulas from math ematics and mathematical economics. The selection of results from mathematics included in handbooks for chemistry and physics ill suits economists. There is no concise reporting of results in economics. With this volume, we hope to present a formulary, targeted to the needs of students as weIl as the working economist. It grew out of a collection of mathematical formulas for economists originally made by Professor B. Thalberg and used for many years by Scandinavian students and economists. The formulary has 32 chapters, covering calculus and other often used mathemat ics; programming and optimization theory; economic theory of the consumer and the firm; risk, finance, and growth theory; non-cooperative game theory; and elementary statistical theory. The book contains just the formulas and the minimum commcntary needed to re-learn the mathematics involved. We have endeavored to state theorems at the level of generality economists might find useful. By and large, we state results for n-dimensional Euclidean space, even when the results are more generally true. In contrast to thc economic maxim, "everything is twice more continuously differentiable than it needs to be", we have listed the regularity conditions for theorems to be true. We hope that we have achieved a level of explication that is accurate and useful without being pedantic.

This volume presents mathematical formulas and theorems commonly used in economics. It offers the first grouping of this material for a specifically economist audience, and it includes formulas like Roy’s identity and Leibniz's rule.

A textbook for a first-year PhD course in mathematics for economists and a reference for graduate students in economics.

Mathematical Formulas for Economics and Business: A Simple Introduction includes over 100 formulas in the field, alongside relevant definitions and explanations. The formulas cover the areas of supply and demand, market equilibrium, non-linear functions, financial mathematics, differentiation, functions of several variables, integration, and matrix algebra.

This highly-successful manual is the first to present in one volume all of the mathematical formulas and theorems commonly used by economists. It will thus be indispensable to economists, researchers, and students who are in need of exact statements of mathematical results. The third edition has been extensively revised and contains more than 250 new formulas, as well as many new figures.
