Customer Reviews

Much better than the other reviewers indicate

Microeconomics with Calculus is a great textbook. this is the ideal book for all those economics students who grow weary of wordy explanations of economic models when a touch of calculus say so much more. a great book for people unassociated with economics, but who have backgrounds in any math-related disciplines.

Pretty good despite the criticisms

This book isn't perfect, but it is much better than the other reviewers indicate. The best thing about it is that it is more or less self-contained. All of the necessary math can be found in the first chapters, and there are lots of worked-out examples. It's pretty well written too. Problems include: too many typos and an ugly typeface. The graphs are nicely done, though. Its most obvious competitors are Intermediate Microeconomics by Varian and Microeconomic Theory: Basic Principles and Extensions by Nicholson. Varian hides all the math in brief appendices and a supplementary workbook, and Nicholson's book is good but much too expensive. Hopefully a third edition will address some of the problems with this book. In the meantime, it is a reasonable choice for a microeconomics text.

A good book for undergraduation

This book is a very nice book to be used in undergraduation level. For those who got a good basis in calculus, this book fits perfectly. After understanding all this book , the stundent will be ready for an advanced text. .

Get This Book, It's A Blast

This book teaches you all you have to know about microeconomics from a technical view. The theories are set out in examples that, if you understand calculus, are a fascinating approach to learning about economics. In addition, Professor Hoffman is excellent in presenting this information in an understandable form. I ought to know, she was my micro professor fourteen years ago, an I got an "A" in her class, while I was only a "B" calculus student.
