Críticas

'This outstanding textbook is the by-product of lecture notes written by a dedicated teacher. Mathematics is carefully exposited for first-year students using familiar applications drawn from economics and finance. By working through the problems provided, students can overcome any fear they might have of mathematics to make it an enjoyable companion.' Chris Jones, Australian National University

'In this well-written text, mathematical techniques are introduced together with basic economic ideas, underlining the fact that mathematics should not be treated separately, but is an integral and essential part of economics. The style is friendly and conversational, and the mathematical techniques are treated rigorously, with many clearly presented examples. Dr Asano is adept in pinpointing those areas which students find difficult, making this a very useful and comprehensive text for anyone undertaking the study of economics.' Valerie Haggan-Ozaki, Sophia University

'Dr Asano is a renowned teacher who transformed the course he has taught on this subject into a popular, albeit challenging, course that laid an excellent foundation for Economics majors. He has brought this style to this textbook and students will find it very thorough in its treatment of each topic, and ... they will learn by doing as much as by reading. Students new to economics will find the style easy to follow and this textbook will facilitate the teaching of this material for lecturers too.' Martin Richardson, Australian National University
