This book provides a rigorous course to the theory of intermediate microeconomics. It includes not only the basic traditional theory, but also a ¡°From the Literature¡± box in each chapter directing students to applications of the theory. The theory is developed axiomatically, with optional sections using one-variable calculus included for interested readers. A substantial number of homework problems are also interspersed throughout the text. Covering the essential topics of microeconomics, this book is highly suitable for a one-term class in microeconomics at the intermediate level.
A complimentary copy of the Instructor's Manual and the PowerPoint presentations of the text materials are available for all instructors who adopt this book as a course text.
