MIT 14.01 Principles of Microeconomics, Fall 2018

Undergraduate fundamentals

This introductory undergraduate microeconomics course from MIT OpenCourseWare is taught by Prof. Jonathan Gruber. The description keeps to the essentials, so the lectures themselves are the best guide to exactly what is covered.

Who benefits

Students who want a university-level foundation in microeconomics, and self-learners who prefer lectures to textbooks, will find it useful. This is the fall 2018 run, and the MIT site also lists a newer version if you want the latest presentation.

• Take notes on each core idea as the lecturer builds it, rather than skipping ahead.
• Compare the lecture approach with a textbook chapter on the same topic.

Read it as a clear, self-contained starting point in the subject.
