Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
"
This book explores the importance of mathematics (analysis, algebra, topology, probability, and inferential statistics) within the history and development of economics. It offers a long-term perspective on the links between mathematics and economics, taking into account the influence of historical events, to create a genealogy of quantitative economics. Starting with Aristotle and the early economic pioneers, such as Petty, Isnard, Cournot, Ricardo, Marx, and Walras, the development of economics over many centuries is charted, including marginalism, general equilibrium, neoclassical synthesis, linear economics, game theory, econometrics, financial theory, and artificial intelligence.
This book provides insight into an overlooked part of economics’ history to create a new framework for economic analysis. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the history of economic thought from a quantitative perspective, filling a gap in the existing literature.
