Principles of microeconomics last taught at Florida State University, Fall 2002
These notes were meant as a supplement to the text (Gwartney, Stroup, and Sobel. Microeconomics: Public and Private Choice, 9th ed. Dryden) for this particular course, and for those in other courses who desire a basic review of the material. The notes were written circa 2000, so the Gwartney, et al. textbook has probably undergone a few revisions since then. Note that the outlines may refer to articles that are not linked to this website and that there may be references to page numbers in that specific book. Also, this was my first shot at writing notes, and looking back at them they are not the greatest set of notes, but they will suffice for those in Intermediate Microeconomics or the graduate courses looking for that basic review (which is the primary reason I have them here). One caveat: Reader Beware. I am probably the only one who has read these notes so there may be errors.
