Features: Basic Economic Application Mathematics is a compulsory course for finance, economics, and management majors. However, certain content in this course can be challenging for some readers, especially self-learners, due to difficulties in understanding certain concepts or mastering calculation techniques. As a result, many readers seek reference books for this course. In response to this demand, we have written this book. It can serve as a "teaching reference" for instructors teaching the course, a "study and exam guide" for current students and candidates taking self-study exams, a "pre-exam preparation guide" for working finance and economics professionals seeking self-improvement or planning to apply for postgraduate programs in finance and economics, and a "review manual" for teaching assistance and tutoring classes. Each chapter of the book includes three main sections: "Analysis and Summaries of Key Concepts and Theorems," "Selected Examples," and "Exercises with Solutions."
In the "Analysis and Summaries of Key Concepts and Theorems" section, emphasis is placed on "clarifying difficulties" and "summarizing patterns." It does not cover all the content that needs to be learned or mastered but focuses on analyzing and explaining concepts and methods that are difficult to understand or master—i.e., the challenges and doubts students face in their learning. This helps guide students to correctly identify, understand, and delve deeper into key concepts, methods, and difficult problems. Additionally, it summarizes patterns to help readers organize and reinforce their knowledge more systematically.
