Question
Hello,

,

My name is Gonzalo Gil and I just completed my undergraduate work in Econ/PolSci. I am writing because a year and a half from today I will probably be enrolled in a Master Program for economics. Since I will need to be very fluent in calculus and econometrics(stat + prob +econ) I would like to know if you could be so kind as to recommend to me what books, authors, website or journals you think are an essential source for its ability to communicate the material in a manner that is intelligible for a novice in the aforesaid field. I hope to hear from you whenver you get a chance.

Answer
When I was in college, we used a textbook that is probably outdated since it was 20 years ago.  Now adays, we use the computer to find good work and textbooks as an assistant to the project.

I found a good address with books on it concerned with calculus and economicds.  It is
