Excellent supplement
This book is an excellent supplement for classroom lecture. I often used it to clarify methodology used in my graduate level macroeconomics course. The presentation of the maximum principle and Hamiltonians in dynamic optimization was most helpful. In about 10 pages he clarified what 6 hours of reviewing lecture notes could not.

I was very stupid to buy this book
Many people say this book is great. But donot be fool! They are trying to make you a fool! The authors gets everything from the air! My impression is this book is a baby sersion of the Varian Microeconomic Analysis book. I learn absolutely nothing from this book.

elegant small book on economic theory
This book is a gem. Very clear exposition of the lagrange method and multipliers, and other optimization methods. Dixit finds economic intuition in every step of the math. I pick up this book anytime I need to remind myself how the mind of a clear economic thinker works. No personal economics library could be complete without it. Similar Products
