Summary: Some Comments on 'Maths. for Economics' by M.hoy
Review: It is a good and comprehensive textbook for students who want to acquire from basic to advanced skills in calculus and linear algebria but unfortunately some important topics such as dynamic programming and Bellman equations which are currently used nowadays at many advanced level economics courses are found missing. I hope further editions would incorporate more explanatory information to guide beginners how to handle such new skills.

Summary: Clear and Clean
Review: This is a very useful introductory text for economics students who want to plug into the mathematics needed for more advanced economics courses. The treatment of multivariate calculus is intuitive and clear, but I wish there was less pre-calculus and more work on total differentials and differential equations. Chiang is better for those topics. The introduction to dynamics is a useful preliminary look at this deep topic

Summary: Excellent for help with economic theory ...
Review: Very useful book for calculations for economic application: I say applications, because the examples are extremely useful for use with economic courses or theory. I am studying at undergraduate level, and have used this book along-side set texts for 3-4 courses ... including intermediate microeconomics (so, if you have the Varian set textbook, this book is extremely helpful!!, with lots of relevant examples). Very useful, easy to understand (straight forward).
