He teaches matematical methods appropriate to economic theory (including game thoery and control theory) and special topic courses to graduates and undergraduates. His main research interets include set-theoretic topology and theoretical economics, concentrating on mathematical problems ansd spanning a wide field of applications.  \u003ci\u003eMathematics in Economics\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable guide to the mathematical apparatus that underlies so much of modern economics. The approach to mathematics is rigorous and the mathematical techniques are always presented in the context of the economics problem they are used to solve. Students can therefore gain insight into, and familiarity with, the mathematical models and methods involved in the transition from \"phenomenon\" to quantitative statement. \u003cp\u003eTopics covered include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSets and Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMatrices and Vectors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eModelling Consumer Choice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscrete Variables\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFunctions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEquilibrium\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEigenvalues and Eigenvectors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLimits and their Uses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eContinuity and Its Uses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePartial Differentiation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Gradient\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTaylor's Theorem - An Approximation Tool\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEconomic Dynamics: Differential Equations.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e Each chapter ends with exercises designed to help students understand and practice the techniques they have learnt.
