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.

Short description:
Maths for Economics provides a solid and comprehensive foundation in the mathematical techniques used in economics, beginning by revisiting basic skills in arithmetic, algebra and equation solving and slowly building to more advanced topics.
MoreLong description:
Maths for Economics provides a solid foundation in mathematical principles and methods for economics and business students. It aims to build self-confidence in maths, by adopting a user-friendly style and by reinforcing learning at each step through worked examples and test exercises. The book assumes no prior knowledge of mathematics or economics and the author devotes part one to the revision and consolidation of basic skills in arithmetic, algebra and equation solving.
From here there is a carefully calculated learning gradient, increasing in mathematical sophistication as the book progresses, designed to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the concepts for any student.
In this latest edition there is a new 4 colour design intended to enhance the pedagogical features in the chapters. Extra material on advanced topics such as Taylor's theorum and comparative statics will be available on the Online Resource Centre.
The Online Resource Centre contains the following resources:
