Delete part 6 (Mathematical Programming) and move nonlinear programming (21) to follow Optimization with equality constraints (12). The combination of depth of material and ease of exposition is the reason that graduate students and faculty alike have kept their copies of Chiang from their undergraduate days.

Thus, though it is a easy cake, I would recommend it to anyone wishing to have a concrete math foundation for further econ study. Really recommend it for graduate students , especially those like myself with a history of math-phobia!

Many mathematical economics books are very heavy to follow, and don´t actually aim to the main goal: making the student fully understand the context and mathematics behind it.

What struck me the most with this book is how Professor Chiang takes such care and effort to explain everything in words, as clearly as possible. Ein kleines Manko ist, dass nach mehr als 500 Seiten kein Platz mehr ist für mehrdimensionale Systeme.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. This book is unique because it makes this link and reveals the beauty of maths not as abstract concepts, but as a useful tool to solve every day problems. This book in the contrary explains with brilliance all the difficult concepts and by giving every-day examples connects their abstract meaning with our every day life's real problems. Each part is started with an intuitive instruction and is closed with conclusion part which states the limitation with a certain method.To underscore the relevance of mathematics to economics, the author allows the economist's analytical needs to motivate the study of related mathematical techniques; he then illustrates these techniques with appropriate economics models. It is the most readable textbook I've come across on mathematics, it is unpretentious and non-elitist. Ein Klassiker, der dennoch auf jedes Bücherregal eines Akademikers vom PhD Studenten aufwärts gehört. Through a complete integration of mathematics and economics along with a very patient exposition, the author attempts to maintain the emphasis on economics.
