Mathematical Economics

lt;b> Kam Yu studied engineering, mathematics, and economics in Hong Kong, the UK, and Canada. He teaches economics at Lakehead University, where he received a teaching award in 2016. His primary research interest is in the area of social and economic measurement.

Chapter 1. Logic and Proof.- Chapter 2. Sets and Relations.- Chapter 3. Basic Topology.- Chapter 4. Linear Algebra.- Chapter 5. Vector Calculus.- Chapter 6. Convex Analysis.- Chapter 7. Optimization.- Chapter 8. Probability.- Chapter 9. Dynamic Modeling.

"Even though the book is aimed at serving as a single semester course, it is sufficiently rich in its contents. This makes it stand out from other similar titles. ... Sufficient references have been included for those desirous of delving deeper into the mathematical fundamentals of economics. The book has been written with a lot of caution, brevity and wisdom; and is worth every penny spent on it." (Firdous Ahmad Mala, Journal of Economics, Vol. 136, 2022)
"This book by Prof. Kam Yu is an interesting addition to the literature on the basic mathematical tools for economic analysis (more specifically, for neoclassical economics). It covers a wide range of topics, ranging from topology to probability theory, going through linear algebra, optimization theory and dynamic programming. Its strength lies in a large number of examples and exercises. In that sense, it is useful for junior andsenior college students." (Fernando Tohmé, zbMATH 1471.91005, 2021)
