"The text is aimed at providing an introductory-level exposition of mathematical methods for economics and business students. In terms of level, pace, complexity of examples and user-friendly style the text is excellent - it genuinely recognises and meets the needs of students with minimal maths background."
—Colin Glass, Emeritus Professor, University of Ulster
"One of the major strengths of this book is the range of exercises in both drill and applications. Also the 'worked examples' are excellent; they provide examples of the use of mathematics to realistic problems and are easy to follow."
—Donal Hurley, formerly of University College Cork
"The most comprehensive reader in this topic yet, this book is an essential aid to the avid economist who loathes mathematics!"
