Calculus for Economics

Question

Please suggest me a good book for Calculus. I am a beginner. It would be better if you tell me which book would be appropriate for learning Calculus for understanding Economics.

Answer 1

The textbook I used for maths at undergraduate level was 'Essential Mathematics foe Economic Analysis' by Sydsaeter and Hammond. I don't know of any others for comparison but it was always helpful for me. I've got the 3rd edition but I imagine any edition will cover the calculus required.

Answer 2

Any calculus book should be sufficient for basic economics. For more advanced economics, you will have to learn some advanced calculus. But if you are a true beginner, just start with something like Stewart or Thomas.

Answer 3

I strongly recommend the book "calculus" written by MIT Professor Gilbert Strang. It's useful for self-learners. You can also find his teaching videoes online.
