Introduction to Microeconomics is a course that familiarizes students with basic economic concepts and theories that aim to analyze individual decision-making behavior and how it affects the overall market demand and supply. The course covers topics such as demand and supply, market equilibrium, consumer and producer behavior, market structures, and government interventions. By learning the principles of microeconomics, students can have a better understanding of how the economy works and how different factors can impact it, such as changes in price, income, and technology.

In addition, the course teaches students how to use economic models and theories to analyze real-world scenarios, such as why the price of a product increases, how businesses decide on pricing and production decisions, and how government policies affect the economy. The concepts learned in Introduction to Microeconomics can also be applied to various fields, such as finance, marketing, and public policy. The course aims to provide students with a solid foundation in microeconomics, which can help them make informed decisions in their personal and professional lives.
