The fast and easy way to learn microeconomics!

Now anyone can grasp the fundamentals of microeconomics--without formal training, unlimited time, or a genius IQ. In Microeconomics Demystified, Economics professor Craig Depken provides an effective, illuminating, and entertaining way to learn this complex subject.

This self-teaching guide explains the concepts of microeconomics, including supply and demand, elasticities, consumer and producer surplus, the role of the firm, various market models, and more. The book combines an intuitive approach with “practical” mathematics, using easy-to-read graphs and simple arithmetic. Featuring end-of-chapter quizzes and a final exam, this book will teach you the ins and outs of microeconomics in no time at all.

Simple enough for a beginner, but challenging enough for an advanced student, Microeconomics Demystified is your shortcut to a working knowledge of this important business topic.

An easy way to understand microeconomics
Hundreds of worked examples with solutions
A quiz at the end of each chapter to reinforce learning and pinpoint weaknesses

5.0 out of 5 stars Microecomonics DeMystified, May 27 2006

By Alencia Aghayere "MBA student" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Microeconomics Demystified: A Self-Teaching Guide (Paperback)

As a MBA student taking Managerial Economics, I found this book extremely helpful. It removes a great deal of confusion and foggy Economic mumbo gumbo, enabling the reader to truly understand Microeconomic concepts. The quizzes at the end of each chapter assists greatly in your understanding of how well you have grasped what was presented. The final exam at the end of the booked helped me with the final exam in my course. I strongly recommend this book for any Economics course for which microecomonics is an integral part. The only real thing of value that I can share is perhaps the fact that I got an A in the class and a great deal was due to this book! I hope more are to come. This author knows his stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for learning key concepts, April 28 2009

By Sandra Peele "SGP" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Microeconomics Demystified: A Self-Teaching Guide (Paperback)

I bought this book based on recommendations from CBE (credit by examination) forums. After reading it, I agree that it is an excellent resource for the microeconomics exam. It is written in a conversational style-- easy to follow and understand. The author is mindful that his readers are beginners and he proceeds very slowly, with many examples, so that the knowledge of microeconomics builds slowly, steadily and (surprise!) easily. It's a great book for learning key concepts. If you are beginning a study of microeconomics, read this book first. It will give you a good foundation!

This review is from: Microeconomics Demystified: A Self-Teaching Guide (Paperback)

Totally made sense without esoteric formulas that we usually associate with Economics. Used it as a reference for the Managerial Economics class in the MBA program since I needed to brush up on the basics.
