Intermediate Microeconomics — ECON 360
Welcome to the simulation-based companion notes for ECON 360: Intermediate Microeconomics at Binghamton University.
Every chapter pairs short conceptual notes with an interactive demo that runs entirely in your browser — drag a slider, see the budget line pivot, watch the indifference curve move, find the monopoly profit maximum, build your own payoff matrix. There is nothing to install.
What’s here
- Consumer Theory — Budget constraints, preferences, utility, the consumer’s choice problem, demand, Slutsky decomposition, intertemporal choice
- Markets & Welfare — Consumer surplus, market demand, equilibrium, exchange
- Production & Costs — Technology, cost minimization, profit maximization, supply curves
- Imperfect Competition & Beyond — Monopoly, externalities, game theory, asymmetric information, decision under uncertainty
How to use these notes
The fastest path is: read the page top-to-bottom, run the simulation while reading, then revisit the math once you’ve seen the picture move. Most demos let you reach a result that would otherwise take a paragraph of derivation.
