In Intermediate Microeconomics, we study the behavior of people as manifest in market conditions (demand, supply, prices, quantities) and, to a lesser degree, social outcomes. The primary objective of the course is to learn, and learn to work with, standard idealized models of those markets and behaviors as a foundation for later study and understanding of the myriad ways in which actual market conditions deviate from the ideal.

The course style is primarily lecture, but with discussion both in the main class and in discussion sections led by teaching assistants.  

Prerequisite: ECON 2010 and one semester of calculus.

A note on textbooks:  There is ONE required textbook for the class: Microeconoimcs, First Edition, by Goolsbee, Levitt and Syverson.  It is available in multiple formats, however.  The UVa bookstore should stock the hardcover and the loose leaf formats.  Most students in the Fall 2013 course used and would recommend the hardcover.  

There is also an on-line / e-book option (part of the publisher's "Econ Portal Access Card") that has a few additional features. The on-line access is time-limited, however -- you purchase only six months at a time. See the publisher's website for additional description of the formats as well as the various packages of paper-plus-electronic formats. 

Also, several students have benefitted from Study Guide for Microeconomics by Ogloblin and Pena.  It is written to accompany the main text and includes additional solved problems.  There will be two copies available on 3-hour reserve in Clemons, but for those who might want their own copy, it should also be available in the bookstore as a recommended reading.

I do not recommend purchasing the Calculus Supplement, as it is simply a compilation of calculus appendices available in the textbook and on Collab.
