Intermediate Microeconomicsby Hal R. Varian

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: Very conceptual!, January 11, 2006 Reviewer:Samia (Chicago, IL United States) - I am a Public Policy student at the University of Chicago and used this book for an introductory Microeconomics course. Varian explains the concepts of Microeconomics well. Many of the previous reviews state that the book does not have many mathematical examples or questions. This is because there is a supplementary workbook that addresses only the math. (My professor assigned weekly problem sets based on the workbook problems.) By the end of the course, I felt that I understood the concepts and had a good foundation for future coursework. I believe this is very important for anyone who plans to take more Economics courses. This book is considered the standard in the field of Economics. I recommend this book if you want to understand the concepts instead of just number crunching.
Book Description
Considered the best text for the undergraduate course, this book sets forth microeconomics in clear and authoritative terms. Professor Hal Varian uses basic economic analysis to untangle this most current of topics, and many examples throughout the book explore lively applications ranging from airline fare wars to computer software pricing strategies. This edition continues the book's modern emphasis with fresh insights into information technology, expanded coverage of strategic behavior, and a new chapter on auctions featuring pathbreaking research that earned a Nobel Prize in 1996.
