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!'
