I would hope one of your professors would utilize this book, and if they do consider yourself lucky.
However, it doesn't have enough emphasis on mathematical techniques to solve the types of problems that will be expanded on and required in upper division econ/business courses. For example, there is almost no part explaining the use of Lagrangian Multiplier method to solve constrained maximization problems. Instead of explaining the algebraic way of calculating the slope (rise/run), partial differentiation should be emphasized. Second derivative should be explained as a way to understand the rate of change of the slope of a line. Also, solving the specific maxima and minima of functions should be explained as these intersections are very important to the conceptual understanding. These are techniques required in any university program, so it would be useful to include more of this. Conclusion: format and examples are nice, it is pretty comprehensive, but more focus on analysis and techniques for solving more complicated problems would be useful.
