INTERMEDIATE MICROECONOMICS
WITH MICROSOFT EXCEL
This unique text uses Microsoft ExcelR workbooks to instruct students. In
addition to explaining fundamental concepts in microeconomic theory, read-
ers acquire a great deal of sophisticated Excel skills and gain the practical
mathematics needed to eed in advanced courses. Along with the inno-
vative pedagogical approach, the book features explicitly repeated use of
a single central methodology, the economic approach. Students learn how
economists think and how to think like an economist. With concrete, numer-
ical examples and novel, engaging applications, interest for readers remains
high as live graphs and data respond to manipulation by the user. Finally,
clear writing and active learning are features sure to appeal to modern prac-
titioners and their students. The Web site panying the text is found at
