ECONOMIA & MATEMÁTICA


A propósito de Economia e Matemática, título de um "post" em Pura Economia

Why is there so much mathematical formalism in economics?
.
...The level of mathematical formalism in economics may thus be too high for the same reason that people tend to raise their voices at cocktail parties. In a crowded space with high ambient levels, one must speak up simple to be heard. But when all speak in louder voices, the ambient noise level rises, making it necessary to speak steal more loudly"
