This workbook supplements the Varian textbook, Intermediate Microeconomics. The textbook focuses on the conceptual and this workbook focuses on the mathematical applications of microeconomics. There are numerous problems for each chapter that range from easy to difficult. Unfortunately, the workbook only has the even answers in the back and no explanations for the answers. I believe that the workbook would be extremely valuable if only it had explanations for the answers. Instructors using the workbook do have the detailed explanations to the questions.

The textbook was hard enough to follow. The workbook, although it provides exercises, does not furnish the student with any explanation of how the answers were derived

I completely agree with what everyone else has said especially, "waste of time, I don'tknow what else to say." It was extremely simple and did have many errors. If you want to check your math microeconomics understanding, buy a copy of Shaum's outlines for Mathematics for Economists.

I am a 1st year ph.d. student at a to 10 grad prog in econ. I thought I would use this book to brush up on really basic micro(I didn't major in micro in undergrad). On top of being confusing and badly written, I found 3 blatant errors in the first 3 pages. The other authors are right. This has to be worst textbook that I have ever seen.

i agree with all the other people when I say this is one of the worst review books I've ever read. The author uses awkward examples to explain concepts...and what is wrong with those names? shirley sixpack? Ambrose? Vanna Boogie? How about Author Dull? or Iam Perplexed? Even answers are given but it doesnt show how it was derived. And on top of that, I am positive the book contains number of errors. This makes it even more confusing for people trying to learn micro. Stay away from that orange book if you can.

For those of you unlucky enough to be forced into using this book, you have my deepest sympathy. I don't even know where to begin. Waste of space. Very confusing.

This book is extremely bad and unfortunately some professors still require it as mine does. I wonder why, because there are numerous mistakes and many questions in it don't actually make coherent sense. Definitely do not buy if you're not required to.

This book stretched my understanding of economics. If you truly want to learn microeconomics, this book will develop your math and analytical skills.

This book is a joke. Literally. I think the authors are trying to see how stupid professors are: if a prof assigns this workbook, they slap their knees in laughter. No questions are practical they're all highly unimaginative and awkward. It makes you wonder how Varian is even popular. The guy is a sub-par economist at best.

This book deserves a zero rating. As mentioned by others the book only provides even answers with no explanation, how extremely frustrating when you are stuck on a question. Waste of money. I was so disappointed I binned the book. Can anyone recommend a proper workout book in intermediate microeconomics?
