Description

Book Synopsis
* This is the new edition of a popular student textbook. The first edition was well-received. The author has made revisions and additions to enhance the book''s usefulness without destroying its distinctive character as a lucid, thorough, and readable text. It gives a broad treatment of optimization methods, building on simple economic theory and elementary linear algebra and calculus, and reinforcing each new mathematical idea by relating it to its economics application.

Trade Review
'The new edition is completely re-ordered, and the introductory material is now beautifully argued. It now affords a relaxed beginning to concave programming.' Peter Lambert, The Economic Journal, July 1991

Table of Contents
Lagrange's Method; Extensions and Generalizations; Shadow Prices; Maximum Value Functions; Convex Sets and Their Separation; Concave Programming; Second-order Conditions; Time: The Maximum Principle; Uncertainty; Dynamic Programming; Appendix - Kuhn-Tucker Theorem.
