Macroeconomics
ECON 2010
Our textbook for this semester is Economics
Principles & Tools, 7th edition by O'Sullivan, Sheffrin
and Perez (there are several versions - ISBN-10: 0132772752 or ISBN-13: 9780132772754
or ISBN-10:
013139343X or ISBN-13:
978-0131393431). You may
use the reserve copy in the library on the main campus to stay current with
reading assignments if you should experience a delay purchasing a copy.
Quite a few students have
asked about using the previous edition of our textbook since they still have it
from another economics course. I understand the need to do so given the co$t of this book. I have reviewed the current edition and
do not see any major changes. I have not read every page, but the concepts,
principles and theories are the same and consistent with how the tests and
exams are constructed. You will probably be okay using the previous edition, BUT I cannot guarantee that there are not important
differences between the two that I have yet to discover. There is a copy of the
current edition on reserve in the library if you wish to make a close
comparison between the two.
Some of the documents
available within NS Online were created with Microsoft Word and Adobe. You can
download a "viewer" from the Microsoft
Web site if you do not have Microsoft Word, or a
"converter" if you have a version of Word which will not open
the file. You can download Adobe Reader from the Adobe Web site.
