Principles of Economics with Calculus

This class helped make economics more interesting by giving me a solid understanding for the underlying math, and I feel much more confident in making predictions of how given policies will affect the market.

This courses provided an in-depth explanation of the why of economics that I hadn't seen earlier.

The lecture material covers the typical first-year microeconomics topics, but Rangel does not shy away from diving into the nitty-gritty calculations and reasoning.

Some people were complaining on the forum that there is too much math etc but that's just economics.

Although I had taken courses in undergrad, they only explained concepts without providing a concrete reason why.

Seconding another reviewer, this class was one of the tougher online ones I've taken, but it is fairly short (9 weeks), and it has been manageable so far with my previous introduction to microeconomics and my very basic knowledge of taking derivatives and finding integrals.

I am taking this course to supplement my other course in microeconomics because I found the approximations and lack of math to be actually rather frustrating and confusing.

For a beginner like myself, the lectures have often felt rushed, and I definitely have to follow along in the lecture notes and stop to make frequent annotations and work out mathematical expressions that are sped through, but the experience has been rewarding.

Beautiful introduction to economics, the math involved can be at times challenging if your math is rusty..if that's the case then brush up on calculus on khan or some other place.
