 Mistakes + Poor Explanation = This Book January 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have not practiced maths since GCSE and now found myself heavily involved in the subject for my economics degree. I used this book as a revision book prior to exams and found it largely disappointed. I cannot fault the explanations; although pages are very packed and contained exorbitant amount of words and not so many diagrams, they were precise and easy to understand. But the praise stops there. For a chapter on linear equations there were 4 practice exercises which was no where near enough. These exercises were also completely alien to the explanations and examples found before them. In that specific chapter i found many mistakes including mistakes in the answers given at the back of the book which can be very annoying. Avoid this book until a revised edition comes out.

If you were like me and struggling to understand the concepts because nobody had explained the foundations, here is the book to help you through. Its clear, precise and allows one to gradually build up your knowledge as you work through the textbook, every detail is explained. I looked at all other mathematics for economics texts and this in my opinion was the best (2006).
