Mathematical Appendix. “With clarity and precision, the author demystifies key economic equations, making them accessible to readers of all backgrounds. An invaluable addition to the literature on economic theory!” - Dieter Bögenhold, University of Klagenfurt, Austria “Engaging and informative, this book sheds light on the key equations that have shaped our understanding of the global economy.” - Stéphane Goutte, UMI SOURCE, University Paris-Saclay, France “Brilliantly written and well researched, the author magisterially illustrates the power of equations to critically influence our understanding of economic science!” - John Milios, National Technical University of Athens, Greece “This book offers a comprehensible and insightful exploration of how certain equations have impacted the world economy.” - Antonis Papapantoleon, TU Delft, The Netherlands & NTUA, Greece “A fascinating journey through economic science, illustrating how simple equations shape our understanding of the field.” - Panos Xidonas, ESSCA Grande École, France “The author, one of the leading scholars of his generation, elucidates how simple equation-based models explain our economic reality in this landmark book. A must-read to learn from one of the best!” - Stavroula Yfanti, Queen Mary University of London, United Kingdom This accessible textbook introduces the equations that have defined Economics and shaped the global economy. It not only explains the ideas, concepts, applications and their limitations, but also places them in their broader social and historical contexts. Simple examples and real-world applications are provided. The book is particularly relevant for students looking to deepen their understanding of Economics, Mathematical Economics, and the History of Economic Thought. Panayotis G. Michaelides is a Full Professor at the School of Applied Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece, and a former Research Associate at the London School of Economics (LSE), UK. He is recognized among the top 2% of economists globally (ScholarGPS, 2024).
