Zusatztext "Important and commendable! this indispensable resource should be highly prized by all concerned with courses on mathematics for economists and by graduate students working on economic theory. Rarely do books meet such high aspirations and carry out their aims! yet this one certainly does. Well written in an engaging style and impressively researched in the requirements of graduate students of economics and finance! Real Analysis with Economic Applications is sure to become the definitive work for its intended audience. Real Analysis with Economic Applications with its large number of economics applications and variety of exercises represents the single most important mathematical source for students of economics applications and it will be the book! for a long time to come! to which they will turn with confidence! as well as pleasure! in all questions of economic applications." Informationen zum Autor Efe A. Ok Klappentext "Because of its comprehensive coverage of the basic topics of real analysis that are of primary interest to economists, this is a much-needed contribution to the current selection of mathematics textbooks for students of economics, and it will be a good addition to any economist's library. It includes a large number of economics applications that will motivate students to learn the math, and its number and variety of exercises--forty to fifty in each chapter--is a further asset." --Susan Elmes, Columbia University "This book is poised to be a standard reference. Its author gets high marks for care of execution and obvious devotion to, and command of, the topics." --Wei Xiong, Princeton University "This very well written book displays its author's engaging style, and offers interesting questions between topics that make them entertaining to read through." --Darrell Duffie, Stanford University, author of Dynamic Asset Pricing Theory "The idea of doing such a math book directed toward graduate students of economics and finance is an excellent one. There are many students who are interested in this topic, and--until now--the existing math books have not directed their examples and exercises toward an economics approach." --Salih Neftci, City University of New York Zusammenfassung Addressing the topics of real analysis, this book discusses the elements of order theory, convex analysis, optimization, correspondences, linear and nonlinear functional analysis, fixed-point theory, dynamic programming, and calculus of variations. It includes fixed point theorems and applications to functional equations and optimization theory....
