very little..... Professor is really bad on explaining things.

Preferences, Utility, Optimal choice selection, demand. At a very theoretical level.

Externalities and Competitive Equilibrium

pareto optimality, market equilibrium, consumer choice

I learned a totally new, very mechanical and mathematical approach to economics.

We worked on the consumer problem, supply and demand, market prices, and other micro topics

how to make a better decision when making a decision in between choosing an apple or an Orange. by making the a better decision, I can gain more utiliy as a result of my decision.

I don't think professor is well prepared for this class. He often struggle explaining the concept he wants to go over. He uses a lot of mathematics as tools to understand economics, but he doesn't explain the math part well. It makes the students are confused about the math part, and don't really learn the economic part of this class. The homework more like math proofs instead of economics course. I can feel that he wants to give a student a broad vision of the concept of economics, but you cannot consider doing it if you cannot explain the basic concept of the class.

Challenging course that requires substantial outside preparation which is made difficult by the fact that there is no textbook. The weekly problem sets are time consuming but are actually helpful in making sure you stay on track with the topics covered

do not take this course unless you're very confident in your proof skills
