Present microeconomic theory as a way of viewing the world with MICROECONOMICS: AN INTUITIVE APPROACH WITH CALCULUS, 2E. This book builds on the basic economic foundation of individual behavior. Each chapter contains two sections. The A sections introduce concepts using conversational writing, everyday examples and graphs with a focus on mathematical counterparts. B sections cover the same concepts with precise, accessible mathematical analyses that assume one semester of single-variable calculus. The book offers great flexibility with four distinct paths: a non-game theory path through microeconomics, a path emphasizing game theory, a path highlighting policy issues, or a path focused on business. You can also select when to use the B sections for greater depth and when you simply want an overview of a topic. MindTap is now available with interactive, animated Video Graph Presentations and select Progression Graphs that decompose economic concept graphs into finite steps.
