This introduction to the field of economics uses logical and mathematical models to explore the decision-making behaviors of individuals and firms, how they interact to form markets, and how those markets respond to various forms of regulation. At its core, economics is a unique approach to thinking about the world around us. It provides a lens through which to analyze current events, public policy, and every day life.

"The teacher was really fun, made the course really interactive."
"I really liked how the course started from the very beginning and did not assume we already knew anything... I also like how my professor had us read articles on current events that related to the topics were learning at the moment. It was really nice to take a step back and see how the information applied to life outside the classroom."
