Essential Mathematics For Economics And Business, 2nd Ed

Assuming no previous background, this is a user-friendly textbook combining a non-rigorous introduction to mathematics with economics and business applications. It does not aspire to instruct mathematicians, but rather to give students who use mathematics a good sense of what is possible and what is reasonable. It has been written as a core textbook for students studying introductory mathematics on a range of degree and diploma courses in economics and business.
