Economics 301-002
Intermediate Microeconomic
Professor Peter Norman 
UBC Department of Economics
Winter 2004


Welcome to the course home page. Here I will post homeworks, lecture notes and other messages. 

You can get a syllabus here.

I have office hours Fridays 1:15-2:30 or by appointment. If you want to arrange an appointment outside regular office hours or if you have questions that are easily answered in emailing my friendly customer service department at mailto:penorman@interchange.ubc.ca

Lectures are Monday, Wednesday and Fridays 12:00-1:00 in Henn 202.
There is a review session with your TA Subrata Sarker Fridays 3:00-4:00 in Lasr 102.
Moreover, Subrata holds office hours 11:00-12:30 Thursdays at Auditorium Annex 248 and Fridays 2:30-3:00.

Most of what you'll learn in this class will be learnt by applying the ideas from the lecture notes to the homework problems. You should therefore take the homework problems very very seriously and expect to spend lots of time solving these.
To read the files requires having the "Acrobat Reader", which  can be obtained from Adobe Systems by clicking at the thumbnail.. 

A Warning on the notes and the homeworks. There may (will) be some typos and other errors. You do your classmates a favor if you email me if typos are found in either the notes or the homework problems. I will correct glitches as soon as I can.
