If you are an instructor, there are plenty more thoughtful exercises in the instructor's manual. In terms of coverage, it is almost perfect for students in economics, as it covers static optimisation (unconstrained, constrained with both equality and inequality constraints), a bit of linear algebra and linear programming. No dynamic optimization here, as for that you will need [b:Further Mathematics for Economic Analysis|6379546|Further Mathematics for Economic Analysis|Knut Sydsaeter|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266668016s/6379546.jpg|394840].
Be warned however: this is not a mathematical economics textbook, but a text of the maths needed for economics and the social sciences. So there are a number of economic applications (e.g. cost functions and profit functions are used in exercises, and you are shown the connection between logarithmic derivatives and elasticity), but this in not a "baby" version of e.g. [b:Foundations of Mathematical Economics|12368306|Foundations of Mathematical Economics|Michael Carter|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327915322s/12368306.jpg|1757391].… (meer)
