Book Description
The best-selling, best known text in Mathematical Economics course, Chiang teaches the basic mathematical methods indispensable for understanding current economic literature. the book's patient explanations are written in an informal, non-intimidating style. To underscore the relevance of mathematics to economics, the author allows the economist's analytical needs to motivate the study of related mathematical techniques; he then illustrates these techniques with appropriate economics models. Graphic illustrations often visually reinforce algebraic results. Many exercise problems serve as drills and help bolster student confidence. These major types of economic analysis are covered: statics, comparative statics, optimization problems, dynamics, and mathematical programming. These mathematical methods are introduced: matrix algebra, differential and integral calculus, differential equations, difference equations, and convex sets.

Great introduction to mathematical economics!.......2007-07-18
I enjoy Chiang's writing style. I've been reading up on mathematical methods in preparation for a masters econ program, and feel very comfortable with the material thanks to this textbook. The international edition is a good bargain.
A must read text book for any economics undergrad student.......2006-04-02
I found it extremely easy to read and at the same time rigorous enough to settle the bases. The author knows very deeply the economics students needs of mathematical methods and achieves a precise and complete explanation of all notions I needed to know for my undergrad course. I strongly recommend it during the first or second year.
A must read for graduate students in economics.......2006-02-26
Alpha Chiang's text should serve as the foundation for all quantitive analysis done in economic theory. It is an invaluable teaching tool for graduate students in economics and will help them better understand the mathematical techniques that have become so necessary for economic modeling.
I am not a highly quantitative person myself, but I found Chiang's book comprehensible and a useful reference guide in my gradaute economics classes. Along with Hal Varian's "Microeconomic Theory" and Jan Kmenta's "Econometrics", I would say that Chiang's "Fundamentals of Mathematical Economics" should serve as sacred literature for any prospective graduate student in economics.
not so good.......2005-10-14
the text carries to excess the concept of "keeping the presentation as simple as possible". but in general you cannot understand or solve problems with a fifth grader's ability to abstract them.
especially the relunctance to use matrix notation makes some topics actually harder to understand once they become more complicated.
furthermore I find the structure quite confusing since the text amounts to a monotous blabla - clear definitions might be helpful and some rigor would keep the reader conscious instead of drifting off. after all the text is not so bad but I think we deserve something better. blume might be better.
The best math textbook for economist.......2005-09-30
That is why it used everywhere, in nearly all economic departments. I strongly recommend you buy this book. It really helped me in my undergrad, and it is helping in my graduate courses. If you want to buy another book to accompany this, get Simon and Blume book. One person (probably little masochistic) was saying that Chiang has so many examples, blah, blah, blah. Look, not everyone is a math genius, undergraduate student's need Chiang, it's even useful for graduates. Math is used quite too excessively in economics...showing off?

Description:
The paper tries to find out the role played by economic and social infrastructure facilities in economic development across Indian states over the last quarter century. Infrastructure services have been indexed with the help of principal component analysis. Both parametric and non-parametric estimates are done to assess per capita income disparity. A comparative static framework is developed for testing the nature of movement of the development trajectory in income infrastructure plane over different time spans. The findings are statistically very significant to warrant new regional policies under the overall framework of globalisation in order to remove rising regional disparities in both infrastructure and income. This has a strong bearing on the success of poverty removal policies under globalisation as the poor are regionally concentrated in such diverse and heterogeneous country.

From the supplier: The optimal investment and output response of companies to output price variations is contingent on production flexibility, and in equilibrium, the reponse direction depends on the technology and preferences of the firms involved. Responses could be negative or positive, and may be less predictable than previously thought, with responses going beyond what might be indicated by companies' risk preferences. The study builds on work by Applebaum and Katz, and Hartman, on response in a situation of industry equilibrium.

From the supplier: A revitalized analysis of English economist David Ricardo's theory of comparative advantage showed that only a lower level of economic development may be attained despite economic conditions which facilitate specialization of products and free trade among all nations. This can be attributed to factors such as technology and the institutional structures of trading partners. Comparative advantage argues that unlimited trade between countries will increase the total amount of goods produced if countries specialize in specific products and offer them at lower prices.

Legal Guide for Women.......2005-01-08
I have not read this book from cover to cover, but almost! I read it in a hodge podge of this chapter and that chapter, that page and this page. No matter which direction I went, the book was very easy to read and to understand. It is written in regular everyday language. It is a great book. I really enjoy it and have found out a few interesting things as well. The book will be one that women will want to keep handy.
Ms. Phelan D'Isa did a better than excellent job in putting this book together for the average lay-person. Thank you.

Book Description
The American Bar Association Family Legal Guide offers the most comprehensive, useful, and authoritative information available on how the law affects individuals at home, at work, and at play. This practical guide will help consumers steer clear of many legal pitfalls and will guide readers to a better understanding of their rights and responsibilities under the law.
The book has been prepared by many experts in a wide range of legal areas, under the careful direction of the American Bar Association, the nation's leading authority on legal matters. Using a straightforward question-and-answer format -- along with numerous sidebars, charts and graphs -- this volume is divided into specific subject areas for easy reference.
The first chapter, "When and How to Use a Lawyer," helps you determine when to contact a lawyer, how to find one -- and which kind; it will explain the questions to ask and provides an understanding of fees and expenses. Also included are the alternatives to lawsuits and what you can do if a lawyer does not satisfy you. Next is a clear and thorough explanation of "How the Legal System Works." It clearly explains the different court systems and discusses juries, trials, verdicts, and post-trial procedures.
The rest of the book looks at how the law affects all of us in our everyday lives, focusing on our questions and concerns as we go about our daily affairs.
For example, families are tremendously important to us, and the chapter on "Family Law" provides valuable information on marriage (and money), children, separation, annulment, and divorce.
Several chapters look at how the law affects where we live. "Buying and Selling a Home" introduces the players involved and provides tips on selecting a "seller's broker" and a "buyer's broker," as well as how to work without an agent. This chapter also explains your rights concerning the purchase contract, home inspections, home loans, the title and closing, as well as tax considerations and the Fair Housing Act. "Home Ownership" discusses how the law affects you once you've bought your home. It covers property rights and restrictions, managing neighborhood problems, and protecting your rights when contracting for home improvements and repairs. The chapter on "Renting Residential Property" examines the landlord/tenant relationship, leases (and their termination), maintenance, security deposits, rent control, and fair housing laws.
The chapters on "Consumer Credit," "Consumer Bankruptcy" and "Contracts and Consumer Law" cover such topics as: choosing a credit card, credit records debt collections and the law; straight bankruptcy and its alternatives; and types of contracts, breaches, and remedies. The "Automobiles" chapter takes you through buying a new car, buying or selling a used car, warranties, inspections, your auto and the police, as well as accidents and insurance.
Work is also central to the lives of most of us. "Law and the Workplace" lays out the federal laws that apply on the job and takes up the hiring process, discrimination, privacy, AIDS and the employee, unions, safety, employment termination, and pension plans. A chapter on "Forming and Operating a Small Business" provides advice on types of business organizations, ways of getting organized, and your rights when dealing with operational problems and organic changes.
"Personal Injury" helps you understand your rights during claims of negligence, auto accidents, injuries on your (and others') property as well as medical malpractice, liabilities and intentional wrongs. "Criminal Justice" examines the basics of criminal law, defenses against criminal charges and other sentencing and appeals processes. A chapter on "The Rights of Older Americans" discusses pensions, social security, health and long-term care benefits, controlling your own affairs, and legal services for the elderly. The "Estate Planning" chapter explains wills, trusts, living trusts, death and taxes.
The American Bar Association Family Legal Guide should be at the fingertips of anyone who wants to be an informed legal consumer.
The American Bar Association is the world's largest voluntary professional organization. One of its primary goals is to increase public understanding of the law.
