SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on book recommendations for Calculus and Algebra tailored for Economics students with limited mathematical backgrounds. Key titles mentioned include "Mathematical Applications for the Management" by Harshbarger, "Mathematics with Applications" by Lial, "Calculus" (5th Ed) by Stewart, "Linear Algebra and its Applications" by Lay, "Elementary Linear Algebra Applications" by Anton, and "Calculus, Single & Multivariable" (4th Ed) by Hughes-Hallett. Participants suggest that older editions of Stewart's book, along with a solutions manual, are particularly effective for mastering Calculus concepts.

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.
