Introduction to Microeconomics

This course is designed as an introduction to microeconomics for majors in economics, accounting, management and finance. Non-majors may also take the course, but should be aware that it is NOT intended to be a one-semester survey of economics. Economics 0801 is offered by the Economics Department as a one-semester survey for non-majors.

There are no formal prerequisites for Economics 105; however, you are expected to have mastered high school algebra and should be aware than some algebra will be used throughout this course.
