This workbook covers a range of mathematical topics that are essential for bachelor's degree programs such as Business Administration and Economics, as well as interdisciplinary programs with a focus on economics, such as Social Economics. Starting from middle school material, it gradually develops the important topics and methods relevant to the studies, along with corresponding economic applications and terms.

The topics, methods, and associated terms are introduced. The methodological approach is explained using an example problem. Learning and practicing the method is facilitated through exercises with detailed solutions. The mathematical topics are linked with explanations of economic terms and applications. These are either integrated as application problems with solutions in the sections or treated as standalone sections. Finally, mathematical methods are used to derive formulas for solving standard problems in microeconomics.

Dr. Thorsten Pampel is responsible for mathematics education in the bachelor's program in Social Economics at the University of Hamburg.
