Economics books for the mathematician?

AI Thread Summary
Upper-level economics incorporates significant mathematical concepts, often requiring a solid understanding of advanced mathematics. Textbooks like Mas-Colell's provide a rigorous mathematical approach to microeconomics, appealing to those with a strong math background. The discussion highlights the importance of theorem-proof structures in economic literature, suggesting that students transitioning from math to economics should seek resources that align with their mathematical preferences. Recommendations for additional mathematically rigorous economics texts are encouraged, emphasizing the need for a strong mathematical foundation in graduate economics studies.

I thinking about switching from math to econ for grad school, and was wondering how mathematical is upper level economics?

I have trouble reading textbooks that don't follow the theorem->proof outline. I've found Mas-Colell gives a nice mathematical treatment of microeconomics. Any other economics gem for the mathematician?

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
