Reader Reviews
This review is from: Intermediate Microeconomics: A Modern Approach, Sixth Edition (Hardcover) I am a Public Policy student at the University of Chicago and used this book for an introductory Microeconomics course. Varian explains the concepts of Microeconomics well. Many of the previous reviews state that the book does not have many mathematical examples or questions. This is because there is a supplementary workbook that addresses only the math. (My professor assigned weekly problem sets based on the workbook problems.) By the end of the course, I felt that I understood the concepts and had a good foundation for future coursework. I believe this is very important for anyone who plans to take more Economics courses. This book is considered the standard in the field of Economics. I recommend this book if you want to understand the concepts instead of just number crunching.
