No detailed examples or answers.

This workbook supplements the Varian textbook, Intermediate Microeconomics. The textbook focuses on the conceptual and this workbook focuses on the mathematical applications of microeconomics. There are numerous problems for each chapter that range from easy to difficult. Unfortunately, the workbook only has the even answers in the back and no explanations for the answers. I believe that the workbook would be extremely valuable if only it had explanations for the answers. Instructors using the workbook do have the detailed explanations to the questions.

bad
no example, questions are either too easy or too confusing
don't use it

Makes you think
This is an excellent workbook to accompany Varian's Intermediate Microeconomics. The reviewers who claim that there are numerous mistakes have clearly done many of the problems incorrectly. In the 5 years that I have used this book, I have found a very small number of mistakes, mostly typographical. Yes, it's a book that has tricky questions. It requires a deep understanding of economic problems, but the point of each example is to illustrate one aspect of the economic concept. If you can get through these problems, you will have a very good understanding of the logic of microeconomics.

mistakes and very simple
I completely agree with what everyone else has said especially, "waste of time, I don'tknow what else to say." It was extremely simple and did have many errors. If you want to check your math microeconomics understanding, buy a copy of Shaum's outlines for Mathematics for Economists.

those godawful examples
i agree with all the other people when I say this is one of the worst review books I've ever read. The author uses awkward examples to explain concepts...and what is wrong with those names? shirley sixpack? Ambrose? Vanna Boogie? How about Author Dull? or Iam Perplexed? Even answers are given but it doesnt show how it was derived. And on top of that, I am positive the book contains number of errors. This makes it even more confusing for people trying to learn micro. Stay away from that orange book if you can.
