Description

Mathematica is the most widely available computational program available to potential buyers of the book. Mathematica for Microeconomics focuses on teaching economics, not computer programming and that it devotes some space to solving equations "by hand." The author has made sure that the book is compatible with the most frequently used microeconomics textbooks on the market today. This book is designed as a supplemental tool for courses in microeconomics and mathematical economics. It shows professors and students steps to solving microeconomics problems.Readers may begin reading at any chapter, and they may use the book as a "virtual instructor" to facilitate self-learning. They will recognize some of the popular problems, which have been taken from widely-used microeconomics texts.Also included is a CD-ROM containing the Mathematica (R) MathReader (a viewing program similar to Adobe Acrobat) and folders specific to each chapter of the book.
