This is the expanded notes of a course intended to introduce students specializing in mathematics to some of the central ideas of traditional economics.

A Polish space (group) is a separable, completely metrizable topological space (group). This book is about actions of Polish groups, in connection with--or from the point of view of--the subject of descriptive set theory. Descriptive set theory is the study of definable sets and functions in Polish spaces. The basic classes of definable sets are the classes of Borel, analytic and coanalytic sets, and these constitute the main topic of the book, but the authors also consider other classes of definable sets. This will be a valuable book for all researchers in set theory and related areas.

This introduction presupposes little more than a basic course in complex variables.

This tract sets out to give some idea of the basic techniques and of some of the most striking results of Diophantine approximation.

A comprehensive treatment of elliptic functions is linked by these notes to a study of their application to elliptic curves.
