|
 | John E.Freund's Mathematical Statistics by Irwin. Miller
Buy used from: £19.93 This one was compulsory for me but not very helpful at all if you're new to the material. It's full of unexplained formulae, making the topic even more tiresome to study for someone new to it.
|

|
 | Intermediate Microeconomics by John Hey
Buy used from: £22.99 Standard 2nd year Microeconomics book. Broadly speaking it repeats introductory micro theory by means of indifference curve analysis. It is full of typographic errors. Try Hal Varian's book instead.

|
 | Microeconomics by Hugh Gravelle
Buy new: £42.60 / Used from: £32.99 Some people claim to have read this book in their first year... I think reading it is a complete waste of time. It over-complicates the issues at hand by far. Jehle does a far better deal.
|
 | Advanced Microeconomic Theory (International Edition) by Geoffrey A. Jehle
Buy new: £41.69 This book, though supposedly more advanced than the one above does a far better deal explaining what may come your way during final year microeconomics studies.
|
 | Advanced Macroeconomics by David Romer
Buy used from: £28.99 A pretty advanced, but thoroughly explained macro textbook. At times it probably goes into too much mathematical detail. However,even for those who don't really enjoy maths,this is a pretty good text.

Buy new: £35.19 / Used from: £15.00 If you find Romer too difficult, this book will prove ideal. It's full of real world examples and written in an amusing style. Unfortunately it uses difference equations,due to the focus on real data.
|
