MICRO ECONOMICS

Reference Books Remarks

1 Hal Varian Read everything, solve chapter end questions


2 Hal Varian Workbook After you read a chapter from the textbook, solve the corresponding chapter here
3 Hal Varian Workbook Solution Refer to this after you've done the entire chapter from the workbook
4 Nicholson Snyder Skip topics that don't seem relevant but try to work through all the solved examples and most of the chapter end questions

Solution to Nicholson Snyder This is not for the same edition as the one in the above link, but still works half of the time
IITK Lectures Good for entrance, do these
Marginal Revolution University Basic explanation of concepts, great animations
Khan Academy Not exactly the best way to study if you're short on time, though excellent to build concepts
MIT Lectures Watch if you've got spare time
MACROECONOMICS

Reference Books Remarks


Beware: Do not rely on any 1 book to cover the entire syllabus
1 Blanchard Start by reading this. Make this your primary source to learn macro. Do chapter end questions thoroughly.
2 Dornbusch This should be the next book you read. A bit more detailed, skip the parts that seem irrelevant. Attempt chapter end questions
3 Froyen Good alternative for Blanchard. Covers some topics that Blanchard doesn't
4 Abel Bernanke Do national accounting from this

Solow Model Start by reading chapter 2 of Daron Acemoglu. Then follow the other PDFs. Can probably get away withouth understanding the discrete time model but do give it a light read
MATH

Reference Books/Topics Remarks


1 NCERT Start every topic from this underrated book
2 Sydsaetor and Hammond Try to solve the entire book

Curve Sketching Leard to draw them curves, you never know when she could ask you to draw her like one of your french girls
Unacademy JEE (Sameer Chincholikar) Excellent resource for most topics. Sufficient for most of them
Amit Goyal's videos on Convexity Must watch
Dr. Gajendra Purohit Covers most of the undergrad level mathematics, refer only when stuck in some topic
MaxPi Academy Linear Algebra covered specifically for MA entrances. Make sure you do the problem sets given with the videos
Professor Leonard In case you want to start at level zero. Highly recommend you to do calculus 1 and multivariable functions
