    • Textbook

      Note on the textbook, Intermediate Microeconomics by Hal Varian. There are many editions and usually an older edition is just as good for the purposes of this course. (Older versions tend to be cheaper in the used book market!) The chapter numbering in the course schedule refers to the 9th edition. The recommended version is the one with "with Calculus" in the title.  If you are majoring in economics, I highly recommend that you obtain a personal copy for reference in your future studies (Amazon link). However, you may find the version without calculus more useful, if your objective is to merely pass the class.
