That’s an unfortunate example: to the extent which economics is quantifiable, it’s all differential equations… heck, marginal utility is a differential equation!
Maybe they weren’t explicitly stated as differential equations but:
Once you learn the concept of a differential equation, you see differential equations all over, no matter what you do.
Speaking of differential equations in economics, a friend of mine has had an idea that there should be an economics textbook for mathematicians, because it annoyed him so much that they seem to dance around mathematical concepts—for example, marginal anything is clearly a derivative, although normal econ textbooks never call it that.
That’s odd—if anything, econ usually gets accused of being way too much about mathematical formalism. This, for example, might as well be “an economics textbook for mathematicians”; maybe your friend will find it helpful.

Not in the discrete case.

Do you mean a math text for economists?
