This book provides a rigorous course to the theory of intermediate microeconomics. It includes not only the basic traditional theory, but also a "From the Literature" box in each chapter directing students to applications of the theory. The theory is developed axiomatically, with optional sections using one-variable calculus included for interested readers. A substantial number of homework problems are also interspersed throughout the text. Covering the essential topics of microeconomics, this book is highly suitable for a one-term class in microeconomics at the intermediate level.

- Short one-concept chapters so that students can easily digest the material. However, the concepts are explained more fully than most competing texts
- Clear, lucid style applied to logical, straightforward explanation of the material
- There is a conscientious effort to integrate material between chapters. Module introductions, chapter introductions and summaries are used to link and integrate chapters
- Flexibility. One-concept chapters make it easy for the instructor to select the desired material
- There is one chapter each on demand, supply, equilibrium and elasticity. Other texts devote at most two chapters to this material
- The production possibilities chapter provides a clear exposition which sharply contrasts with the cursory style of many other textbooks
- An even balance between micro and macro
- More end of the chapter questions as a result of more chapters. Most texts will only ask a question or two on demand before moving on to the next topic. We provide more questions per topic
