Textbook
The required text for the course is:
Robert Pindyck and Daniel Rubinfeld, Microeconomics, 7th edition (new for 2009), ISBN 978-0-1-3208023-1 (Publisher: Pearson)
Note that the 7th edition is brand-new, and is the one I'll be working with. It should be available for purchase from the BU bookstore by the last week in August. The 7th edition contains a fair amount of updated material and exercises. This is the basic tools text for you as a future economist, and as such, I require that you buy this rather than the 6th edition just out of print. You will be required to complete weekly problem sets all from the new 7th edition, so your life will be much easier if you purchase it.
General Information
All course-related information, announcements, etc. will be posted on the CourseInfo site.
