Principles of Microeconomics

Abstract

Recognizing that a course in economics may seem daunting to some students, the authors have tried to make the writing clear and engaging. Clarity comes in part from the intuitive presentation style, but also a number of pedagogical features are utilized that make learning economic concepts and principles easier and more enjoyable. 
 
 The chapters themselves are written using a ???modular??? format. In particular, chapters generally consist of three main content sections that break down a particular topic into manageable parts. Each content section contains not only an exposition of the material at hand but also learning objectives, summaries, examples, and problems. Each chapter is introduced with a story to motivate the material and each chapter ends with a wrap-up and additional problems. The goal is to encourage active learning by including many examples and many problems of different types.
