Microeconomics: An Intuitive Approach with Calculus
By Thomas Nechyba
About your course materials
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.

VIDEO GRAPH PRESENTATIONS PROVIDE UNFORGETTABLE CLARIFICATION. Have you ever sliced an onion in class to demonstrate the three-dimensional nature of a utility function? These unique Video Graph Presentations place graphical analyses into MindTap®, which enables your students to play and replay animated figures with audio captions. Students can watch lines being plotted and see curves move as the text's author narrates each situation.
PROGRESSION GRAPHS ALLOW STUDENTS TO STEP THROUGH CONCEPTS AT THEIR OWN PACE. Each Progression Graph decomposes an economic concept graph into finite steps, which allows the student to walk through each step at their own pace. Select graphs appear in the MindTap® eReader as Progression Graphs that give students the option to manipulate the graph as they read.
EVERYDAY APPLICATIONS ARE INTEGRATED INTO END-OF-CHAPTER EXERCISES. Rather than confining applications to static boxed features, this unique text incorporates practical applications into the end-of-chapter exercises. By working through exercises that exemplify key applications, students learn by doing and can apply their knowledge beyond the text. Students can access detailed solutions for some problems, and you, the instructor, have access to all remaining solutions.
CLEAR EMPHASIZES ON IMPACT OF MICROECONOMIC CONCEPTS ON TODAY'S BUSINESS APPLICATIONS. How does pricing of one product affect demand for another produced by the same business? How might a firm most efficiently use cap-and-trade pollution vouchers? What is the impact of a capital-gains-tax-induced increase in the rental price of capital on firms within an industry? By working through exercises in each chapter, students answer questions that business professionals must answer every day.
