Book Recommendations for Calculus & Algebra for Economics Students

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for foundational mathematics books in Calculus and Algebra are sought, particularly for someone studying Economics and planning to pursue Finance and Accounting. Suggested titles include "Mathematical Applications for the Management" by Harshbarger, "Mathematics with Applications" by Lial, and various editions of Stewart's "Calculus." Other notable mentions are "Linear Algebra and its Applications" by Lay and "Elementary Linear Algebra Applications" by Anton. An older edition of Stewart's book paired with a solutions manual is considered sufficient for Calculus. Additionally, "Advanced Modern Engineering Mathematics" by Glyn James is recommended for its comprehensive approach. The focus is on books that cater to beginners without assuming prior knowledge.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can recommend me some good books in Calculus and Algebra. My Mathematics is poor in my opinion and i feel i need to study it more. I am studying Economics, and plan to study Finance and Accounting next year. I am looking for books that start from the basics and don't assume prior mathematical knowledge.

I have found the following books on Amazon, has anyone used these books?

Harshbarger-Mathematical Applications for the Management
Lial-Mathematics with Applications
Stewart-Calculus (5th Ed)
Lay-Linear Algebra and its Applications
Anton-Elementary Linear Algebra Applications
Hughes-Hallett-Calculus, Single & Multivariable (4th Ed)

Thankyou.

One of the older editions of stewarts book along with a solutions manual should suffice for Calculus. Goodluck.
 
I like (Advanced) Modern Engineering Mathematics by Glyn James.
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
