Exploring microeconomics: Formal theory and practical problems
Microeconomics: Theory and Applications with Calculus marries economic theory with robust, real-world problems. Perloff introduces contemporary theory through a combination of calculus, algebra and graphs and then uses it to analyze markets. It integrates real problems and applications, using a step-by-step approach to demonstrate how theory can be applied to solve practical problems and policy issues every day.
Featuring new challenges and solved problems, the 5th Edition effectively preps students to apply economic theory to the latest policy analysis in the field.
