Abstract
It is useful to start presenting 20th century Mathematical Economics by paying some attention to a small number of “precursor”; they are Cournot, Walras, and Edgeworth.1 Their main contributions stand firmly at the roots even of present-day most abstract research. Here we are going to present only those parts of their studies which look more important for 20th century economic theory.
