Overview
The overarching premise of this text is that microeconomics is most effectively learned in an active learning, interactive environment. Students have access to more than 200 Interactive Excel Figures in the online text that allow them to move the graphs using sliders and click boxes. This interactivity helps students understand how graphic elements relate to one another. These files do not require knowledge of Excel. More figures than are typical and many of the figures involve multiple scenarios of the same basic graph. Often the text employs interactive questions that require interpreting these scenarios; questions posed are answered at the bottom of the page. Despite the geometric orientation this text is not light on algebraic analysis. The geometry is backed up by the relevant algebra. More than 500 equations are numbered for easy reference both within and across chapters. And, just like the geometry, the algebra is essentially error-free because it was used to create the graphs. The geometric orientation is perfect for the non-calculus enhanced classroom but the text can be readily used in a calculus-based class because a calculus treatment of the material is provided in appendices and endnotes, and calculus-based problems are included in the Intermediate Microeconomics: An Interactive Approach Workbook.The book, Intermediate Microeconomics: An Interactive Approach [Bulk, Wholesale, Quantity] ISBN#9781891002205 in Paperback by Steve Erfle may be ordered in bulk quantities. Minimum starts at 25 copies. Availability based on publisher status and quantity being ordered.
