Mathematica for microeconomics :
Stinespring, John Robert.
Mathematica for microeconomics : learning by example / John Robert Stinespring . - San Diego, CA : Academic Press, c2002. - xii, 222 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. + 1 computer optical disc (4 3/4 in.)
Includes index.
Mathematica for Microeconomics focuses on teaching economics, not computer programming and that it devotes some space to solving equations by hand. The author has made sure that the book is compatible with the most frequently used microeconomics textbooks on the market today. This book is designed as a supplemental tool for courses in microeconomics and mathematical economics. It shows professors and students steps to solving microeconomics problems.;Readers may begin reading at any chapter, and they may use the book as a virtual instructor to facilitate self-learning. They will recognize some of the popular problems, which have been taken from widely-used microeconomics texts; Also included is a CD-ROM containing the Mathematica MathReader (a viewing program similar to Adobe Acrobat) and folders specific to each chapter of the book.;This book emphasizes economics over mathematics as it:; Presents applications of the mathematics required to solve microeconomics problems; Demonstrates the use of computational tools to do;mathematics;; Provides discussions of the results of the problems; Stimulates users to extend the programs and perform their own comparative statics and dynamics;; Provides users with tools to build their own Mathematica programs for microeconomics.
