Product Information

then S1 and S2 are said to be equal (S1 = S2 ). Note that the order of appearance of the elements in a set is immaterial. Whenever we find even one element to be different in any two sets, however, those two sets are not equal. Another kind of set relationship is that one set may be a subset of another set. If we have two sets S = {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} and T = {3, 7} then T is a subset of S, because every element of T is also an element of S. A more formal statement of this is: T is a subset of S if and only if x ∈ T implies x ∈ S. Using the set inclusion symbols ⊂ (is contained in) and ⊃ (includes), we may then write T ⊂S However, the author is very good at organizing material. Each part is started with an intuitive instruction and is closed with conclusion part which states the limitation with a certain method. So although this is a math book, the words really account, which really helps you to understand.

For one thing, the immense complexity of the real economy makes it impossible for us to understand all the interrelationships at once; nor, for that matter, are all these interrelationships of equal importance for the understanding of the particular economic phenomenon under study. The sensible procedure is, therefore, to pick out what appeals to our reason to be the primary factors and relationships relevant to our problem and to focus our attention on these alone. Such a deliberately simplified analytical framework is called an economic model, since it is only a skeletal and rough representation of the actual economy.

The Solution Manual is what most professors use an a reference when making exams for their students, which means there’s a very high chance that you will see a very similar, if not exact the exact, question in the test!

Chiang, University of Connecticut and Kevin Wainwright, British Columbia Institute of Technology. Variables, Constants, and Parameters A variable is something whose magnitude can change, i.e., something that can take on different values. Variables frequently used in economics include price, profit, revenue, cost, national income, consumption, investment, imports, and exports. Since each variable can assume various values, it must be represented by a symbol instead of a specific number. For example, we may represent price by P, profit by π , revenue by R, cost by C, national income by Y, and so forth. When we write P = 3 or C = 18, however, we are “freezing” these variables at specific values (in appropriately chosen units). Properly constructed, an economic model can be solved to give us the solution values of a certain set of variables, such as the market-clearing level of price, or the profitmaximizing level of output. Such variables, whose solution values we seek from the model, are known as endogenous variables (originating from within). However, the model may also contain variables which are assumed to be determined by forces external to the model, 5
