This tenth edition contains a considerable amount of material… much more than one could hope to cover in a single semester. However, there is also considerable flexibility in terms of what material to cover. This allows you to select the chapters, or portions of chapters, that are most relevant for your purposes. That flexibility also extends to the choice of relative weighting of the qualitative or quantitative aspects of the material.
As in previous editions, there are major pedagogical features designed to help students learn and understand the material. This section describes the key features of the book, the chapter elements, the supplements that are available for teaching the course, highlights of the tenth edition, and suggested applications for classroom instruction. By providing this support, it is our hope that you and your students will have t e tools you need to make this learning experience a rewarding one.
