Intermediate Microeconomics (2014) by Hal R. Varian offers a clear and analytical exploration of microeconomic theory, designed for undergraduate students with some foundational knowledge of economics. The book systematically covers key concepts such as consumer and producer theory, market equilibrium, game theory, externalities, and public goods. Varian emphasizes mathematical rigor while maintaining accessibility, using graphs, equations, and real-world applications to explain how individuals and firms make decisions under various market conditions.

The 2014 edition incorporates updated examples and expanded coverage of topics like behavioral economics, asymmetric information, and strategic interactions in markets. Varian blends theoretical depth with practical insight, allowing students to understand not just how markets function, but also how to model and analyze economic problems. This edition remains a cornerstone text for students looking to develop a deeper, more precise understanding of microeconomic mechanisms and their applications¹.
