Description

This course is the first part of a two-semester sequence in microeconomic theory. It is designed to acquaint students with the standard mathematical tools that economists developed to analyze demand, supply, and competitive markets. This course will cover topics such as the producer theory, consumer theory, choice under uncertainty, and general equilibrium analysis. The goal is to help students grasp a set of microeconomic modeling techniques so that they will be able to apply them to the study of various economic and social phenomena.
