PART 1 Introduction Chapter 1: The Nature of Mathematical Economics-- Chapter 2: Economic Models-- -- PART 2 Static (or Equilibrium) Analysis-- Chapter 3: Equilibrium Analysis in Economics-- Chapter 4: Linear Models and Matrix Algebra-- Chapter 5: Linear Models and Matrix Algebra (continued)-- -- PART 3 Comparative-Static Analysis-- Chapter 6: Comparative Statics and the Concept of the Derivative-- Chapter 7: Rules of Differentiation and their use in Comparative Statics-- Chapter 8: Comparative-Static Analysis of General-Function Models-- -- PART 4 Optimization Problems-- Chapter 9: Optimization: A Special Variety of Equilibrium Analysis-- Chapter 10: Exponential and Logarithmic Functions-- Chapter 11: The Case of More Than One Choice Variable-- Chapter 12: Optimization with Equality Constraints-- NEW Chapter 13: Further Topics in Optimization (includes Envelope Theorem and Duality-- -- PART 5 Dynamic Analysis-- Chapter 14 Economic Analysis and Integral Calculus-- Chapter 15 Continuous Time: First Order Differential Equations-- Chapter 16 Higher-Order Differential Equations-- Chapter 17 DiscreteTime: First Order Difference Equations-- Chapter 18 Higher Order Difference Equations-- Chapter 19 Simultaneous Differential Equations and Difference Equations-- NEW Chapter 20: Introduction to Optimal Control Theory--
Summary: It has been 20 years since the last edition of this classic text. Kevin Wainwright, a long time user of the text (British Columbia University and Simon Fraser University), has executed the perfect revision--he has updated examples, applications and theory without changing the elegant, precise presentation style of Alpha Chiang. Readers will find the wait was worthwhile.
