Here are some resources for teachers and students wanting to boost their confidence in handling mathematics when studying economics!

Our thanks to Ruth Tarrant for providing this super selection:

Maths for Economics by Geoff Renshaw - superb...it's a textbook but with detailed explanations and examples and links to real life use.

Google "Oxford Economics Maths Workbook" - you should be able to find PDF copies online. It'll give students a guide as to the kinds of things they need to be able to do.

CORE Economics - search for the "Leibnizes" - these are the additional maths connections to tie in with their free 'The Economy' resources.

Marginal Revolution University have 3 free online courses that might also be interesting: Money Skills, Understanding Data, and Mastering Econometrics
