Mastering the basic concepts of mathematics is the key to understanding other subjects such as Economics, Finance, Statistics, and Accounting. Mathematics for Finance, Business and Economics is written informally for easy comprehension. Unlike traditional textbooks it provides a combination of explanations, exploration and real-life applications of major concepts.

Mathematics for Finance, Business and Economics discusses elementary mathematical operations, linear and non-linear functions and equations, differentiation and optimization, economic functions, summation, percentages and interest, arithmetic and geometric series, present and future values of annuities, matrices and Markov chains.

Aided by the discussion of real-world problems and solutions, students across the business and economics disciplines will find this textbook perfect for gaining an understanding of a core plank of their studies.

Welcome to your new Mathematics book. Our desire to write this book was borne out of our experience of lecturing Mathematics, Economics and Marketing courses for five years at The Hague University of applied Science. The motivation arose when a couple of our students approached us and suggested writing a simplified Mathematics syllabus because the notes we gave in class were more comprehensive and easier to understand than the textbook.

It occurred to us that some students with an intermediate or advanced level of Mathematics were strongly motivated to tackle the course, whilst some with no background or a very poor knowledge of Mathematics tended to be daunted by the complex text, and this demotivated them. In order to improve students' knowledge of Mathematics, we decided to write a book that would be simple to understand, and make the subject more appealing and less off-putting to them.


This book is written informally, in order to be easy to read and understand. It's not just a lot of text, and then lots of exercises, such as you might find in traditional textbooks but a combination of explanations, explorations, and real-life applications of major concepts.
