Introduction To Matrix Theory: With Applications To Business And Economics

by Sandor Molnar and Ferenc Szidarovszky

Published 4 June 2002

In economic modeling and planning, as well as in business, most problems are linear, or approximated by linear models. Such problems are solved by matrix methods, so the material presented in this book is essential to these fields.

Introduction To Matrix Theory: With Applications In Economics And Engineering

by Ferenc Szidarovszky, Sandor Molnar, and Mark Molnar

Published 28 August 2022

Linear algebra and matrix theory are among the most important and most frequently applied branches of mathematics. They are especially important in solving engineering and economic models, where either the model is assumed linear, or the nonlinear model is approximated by a linear model, and the resulting linear model is examined.This book is mainly a textbook, that covers a one semester upper division course or a two semester lower division course on the subject.The second edition will be an extended and modernized version of the first edition. We added some new theoretical topics and some new applications from fields other than economics. We also added more difficult exercises at the end of each chapter which require deep understanding of the theoretical issues. We also modernized some proofs in the theoretical discussions which give better overview of the study material. In preparing the manuscript we also corrected the typos and errors, so the second edition will be a corrected, extended and modernized new version of the first edition.
