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.

Worst Microeconomics Book
This is simply the worst economics book I have ever read. There are typos everywhere, the author does a horrible job of tying the economic theory to the math, and the presentation of economic material gives very few applied examples. This book makes a good sleeping aid. Similar Products
