This text aims to bridge the gap between theoretical and heavily quantitive approaches to utility and production functions. The author provides easy access to these core areas in microeconomics and also: systematically compiles the major forms of utility and production functions; explicitly illustrates these functions in chronological order; and reviews economists' responses to resolving the problems of the functions. This book is designed primarily for advanced undergraduate and graduate students seeking the most coherent treatment available. It should also be useful for any academic wishing to utilize a quick and easy format to access these functions.
