This book is a self-contained treatment of all the mathematics needed by undergraduate and masters-level students of economics,econometrics and finance. Building up gently from a very low level,the authors provide a clear,systematic coverage of calculus and matrix algebra. The second half of the book gives a thorough account of probability,dynamics and static and dynamic optimisation. The last four chapters are an accessible introduction to the rigorous mathematical analysis used in graduate-level economics. The emphasis throughout is on intuitive argument and problem-solving. All methods are illustrated by examples,exercises and problems selected from central areas of modern economic analysis. The book's careful arrangement in short chapters enables it to be used in a variety of course formats for students with or without prior knowledge of calculus,for reference and for self-study.The preface to the new edition and full table of contents are available from https://www.manchesterhive.com/page/mathematics-for-economists-supplementary-materials

MEDIA REVIEWS
'This is the best mathematics for economists textbook that I have come across. It is very clearly written,starts at a basic level,and gradually advances all the way up to dynamic optimization in continuous time. I find that students understand dynamic economic models much better after having studied Pemberton and Rau's textbook.'Paul S. Segerstrom,Professor of International Economics,Stockholm School of Economics
