| Instructor's comments about the book list: There are two versions of the textbook written by Hal R. Varian and Marc J. Melitz: Intermediate Microeconomics with Calculus: A Modern Approach, 2nd edition ISBN: 978-1-324-03440-7 Intermediate Microeconomics: A Modern Approach, 10th edition ISBN: 978-0-393-64339-8 The two versions are the same, except that the first incorporates calculus in the main text, while the second moves these passages to each chapter?s appendix. Because we will use calculus, I recommend that you obtain the first version, but either is fine. The publisher, Norton, sells each version as both an ebook and paperback. Either is fine. There is a ?Smartwork? online assignment platform that we will not use. |
