Knut Syds?ter, Atle Seierstad og Arne Str?m Matematisk analyse, bind 2, 4. utg., Gyldendal Akademisk (2002). Pensum er avsnitt 1.1-1.4 og utvalgte deler av avsnitt 8.7-8.11.

An English equivalent of the Norwegian version is available:

(EMEA) K. Syds?ter and P. Hammond Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis, 3rd edition, FT Prentice Hall (2008). The entire book, except Sections 10.5-10.8, Section 16.9, and Chapter 17. (The 3rd edition will probably be available before the semester starts. You can also use the 2nd edition (from 2006), but be aware that problem numbers etc. may have changed. Also, the second edition contains answers only to odd-numbered problems.)

The following may be useful:

(FMEA) K. Syds?ter, P. Hammond, A. Seierstad, and A. Str?m Further Mathematics for Economic Analysis, 2nd edition, FT Prentice Hall (2008). Sections 5.1-5.4. These sections treat elementary first-order differential equations in somewhat more detail than Sections 9.8-9.9 in EMEA do. If you have an old (1st or 2nd) edition of EMEA, you will definitely need to look at FMEA. (You can also use the 1st edition from 2005, but the 2nd edition will probably be available before the semester starts. The first edition contains answers only to odd-numbered problems.)
