Abstract
Many models and problems in modern economics and finance can be expressed using the language of mathematics and analysed using mathematical techniques. This book introduces, explains, and applies the basic quantitative methods that form an essential foundation for many undergraduate courses in economics and finance. The aim throughout this book is to show how a range of important mathematical techniques work and how they can be used to explore and understand the structure of economic models.
