Welcome

… to our book Mathematics for Economics and Business, which provides you with an overview of all the important mathematical fundamentals you need for a degree in economics and/or business. All methods are introduced with mathematical rigor, but the focus is always on the economic and business applications. These are illustrated in all chapters with numerous application-oriented examples and exercises as well as the corresponding solutions. Formal proofs are largely omitted, but important properties are derived or briefly justified.
