Present microeconomic theory as a way of viewing the world with MICROECONOMICS: AN INTUITIVE APPROACH WITH CALCULUS, 2nd Edition. This product builds on the foundation of individual behavior. One section of each chapter introduces concepts in conversational writing, with a focus on mathematical counterparts. Another covers the same concepts with precise, mathematical analyses that assume one semester of single-variable calculus. Instructors benefit from flexibility with four distinct paths, including a non-game theory path through microeconomics.
