Schaum's Outline of Mathematical Methods for Business and Economics

This book goes straight to the point without lengthy explanations, instead you are guided through the concepts through a large number of explanations and exercises. This makes progress much faster - in other books you have to read through what the author is trying to explain in words, which takes almost as long as doing the actual math....Chiang's 'Fundamental Methods of Mathematical Economics' is a case in point. Personally I understand a concept better if I see lots of examples. This book ignores the talking and focuses on the doing. If you enjoy learning by looking at examples and don't mind not having everything spelled out to you, i.e. using your intuitive skills, then you will enjoy this book. This book covers a first-year course in Mathematical Economics and can be used as preparation for Chiang's [...]

I found this book helpful in the course that I took in Mathematical Economics. It was a useful accompaniment to the text used in the course, Fundamentals of Mathematical Economics by Alpha Chiang.

...to the topic, although a bit more depth would be the only thing lacking it. I recommend it to anyone who is studying business and is struggling with the math side of it, although as you progress in your studies, you will notice that the book doesnt go into enough depth, especially in the area of differential geometry.
