The 2008 presidential candidate who said, "Economics is something that I've really never understood," probably sides with this view. So, why is economics so dismal to so many? Is it because it has become too mathematical? Is it because traditional textbooks fail to connect topics and models in a concise, cohesive, and meaningful way? Is it because the computer simulations that are used to teach economic principles "stifle students' imagination, contribute to a dependent learning style, and fail to stimulate interest in the subject matter" (Wetzstein 1988)? Or, is it because economists from different schools of economic thought rarely agree on anything? This book uses MAPLE and the simulation models that I developed in Learning Basic Macroeconomics (2014) to make teaching or learning economics not so dismal. MAPLE is ideally suited for this because it allows users to assemble and systematically combine the various models that form the aggregate market model, frees users from doing tedious calculations and algebraic manipulations, and is as easy to use as Microsoft Word. Building and analyzing the macroeconomic model using MAPLE is a fun way to learn the dismal science.  aAlso available in print.  aMode of access: World Wide Web.  aSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat reader.  aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on November 16, 2014).00aMaple (Computer file)9114524 0aMacroeconomicsxComputer simulation.9114525  aaggregate demand  aaggregate expenditure  aAustrian economics  acomputer simulation  aconsumption function  acrowding-out  ademand and supply  adiscount rate  adismal science fiscal policy  afiscal policy lags  afiscal policy multipliers  afractional reserve banking  afree trade  ainterest on reserves  along run aggregate supply  amaple 18  amonetary policy  aopen market operations  arational expectations  arequired reserves ratio  ashort run aggregate supply  asupply-side economics  aChicago school  aclassical school  afederal funds market  akeynesian school08iPrint version:z9781606495308 0a2014 digital library.9114507 0aEconomics collection.x2163-7628911446540uhttp://portal.igpublish.com/iglibrary/search/BEPB0000345.html  c10  c75346d75346
