TEXTBOOK
N. Gregory Mankiw, Principles of Economics, Cengage, 11th edition, with MindTap.
I will be following Greg Mankiw's textbook closely. There are other editions with slightly different titles: N. Gregory Mankiw, Principles of Macroeconomics contains fewer chapters with otherwise identical content. Homework and Midterms are managed vial the Cangage/MindTap platform, which requires registration.
LECTURES
The lecture notes are made available in PDF format only. The slides are for viewing on horizontal screens. The summaries have been stripped of many illustrations and images and are therefore significantly smaller in size. The slides will be used during class. The summaries may be used during review. Activities, Problems and Solutions are available on Canvas. Chapters marked by a star may be omitted. See the Syllabus for details.
