The book starts with a summary of basic skills and takes its readers as far as constrained optimisation helping them to become confident and competent in the use of mathematical tools and techniques that can be applied to a range of problems in economics and finance.Designed as both a course text and a handbook, the book assumes little prior mathematical knowledge beyond elementary algebra and is therefore suitable for students returning to mathematics after a long break. The fundamental ideas are described in the simplest mathematical terms, highlighting threads of common mathematical theory in the various topics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures of the book include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea systematic approach:      ideas are touched upon, introduced gradually and thenconsolidated through      the use of illustrative examples;\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eseveral entry points to      accommodate differing mathematical backgrounds;\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003enumerous problems, with full      solutions, and exercises to illustrate the theory and applications;\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ekey learning objectives      and self-assessment questions provided for each chapter;\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003efull solutions to exercises, available to lecturers via the Springer Nature Extramaterial - Lecturer Material website.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eVass Mavron is Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Aberystwyth University.
