This workbook, designed for use with OpenStax Calculus Volume 1, was developed under a Round 17 Mini-Grant.

This book is based on the idea that there is a particular framework used by economists to interpret observed reality. This framework has been called the economic way of thinking, the economic approach, and the method of economics.

This book is different from the many other books that attempt to teach microeconomics in three ways:

It explicitly applies the recipe of the economic approach in every example.
It uses concrete examples via Microsoft Excel in every application, which enables the reader to manipulate live graphs and learn numerical methods of optimization.
The majority of the content is in the Excel workbooks which the reader uses to create meaning.
You learn by doing, not by reading.

All materials on the site were revised for the 2014/2015 academic year.

On the 8th Student Materials page you will find: the Mathematical Foundation (an explanation of the mathematical content in each chapter), the Student Workbook (an overview of the chapter, daily class activities and matching homework sets, Practice Standards connections for the chapter, and student self-assessments), a link to purchasing a soft-cover version of the workbook (these are available at cost, however you are free to print all materials yourself), and a parent manual (this is the student workbook with selected answers and explanations.)

On the 8th Teacher Support Materials page you will find a Teachers’ Edition to the Student Workbook. It contains answers to all problems, pedagogical suggestions, and explanations of the mathematical flow of the workbook. Additionally, you will find the word version of the Student Workbook.

This course is designed for Microsoft end-users at London Health Sciences Centre and St. Joseph's Health Care, London, Ontario.As the hospitals are now upgrading from Office 2010 to Office 2016, some changes to the software are evident.  This module is intended to refresh and renew Excel knowledge to advance skills for staff who use the software in their positions.This beginner's module is available as part of a series of modules that may be undertaken by hospital staff as the new software is rolled out.  Similar modules are available for other Office apps, such as Word, PowerPoint, and OneNote.  A more advanced Excel module is also available for those who may be more skilled at using this product.At the end of this learning module learners will be able to recognize standard features of Microsoft Excel, create a simple data base and recall simple math functions using the app.
