The aim of this textbook is to improve students' ability to formulate economic problems and provide essential mathematical tools for analysis across various contexts. This book presents the author's current understanding of mathematics, shaped by several years of teaching this subject as well as enriched through interactions with his students. To aid students in their learning, the book is written in a manner that better highlights key concepts and provides additional clarity where possible. In this way, it is hoped that students will feel more guided in their study of mathematics and its applications in economics.
