Micro theory maths - some confusion

Economics
1

Dear all,

I’ve got Collell et al’s book on microeconomic theory for first year undergrads. My maths is struggling to keep up with the Econ theory. In particular, where (in which book) can I learn the fundamentals of sets through which the chapter on consumer choice is presented.

A more general question would be: what maths do high school students study in the US before starting their first year Econ theory courses? I’d like to read up on that material too.

Grateful for any suggestions,

arn

Arn,

 

I am not personally familiar with that text, but have read that a minimum of Calculus 1 is essential for getting through it without too much distress and much more math would be helpful. Many high school students are taking calculus now. I wish you well.
