The slides, quizzes, and practice problems for Lecture 14 can be downloaded as PDF files from the above URL.
(This video allows you to display Japanese and Chinese subtitles from the YouTube settings. Enjoy it even when you're out and about, such as during your commute.)
Introduction to Let's Start Economics
You can systematically learn introductory economics content through 16 video lessons.
The lessons were created with a strong focus on clarity and accuracy.
The topics covered in this course are equivalent to those studied by first-year economics students, but they all represent the core of economics.
We hope that you will learn the fundamentals of economics in this course and use them to further your own development.

• Efficient Learning Methods
Here's a brief overview of recommended learning steps.
While you can simply watch the video lectures from Lecture 1, following these steps is more efficient for steadily deepening your understanding.
Step 1: Watch the first lecture.
Step 2: Solve the problems in the first lecture of the problem set "Let's Start Economics."
Step 3: Watch the second lecture.
Step 4: Solve the problems in the second lecture of the problem set "Let's Start Economics."
Step 5: Watch the third lecture (and repeat).
The problem set can be downloaded from the course homepage (URL at the top).
Studying is about "slow and steady wins the race." Understanding deepens only by diligently working through problems.
If you are serious about studying economics, please make use of the problem set.
For more detailed learning instructions, please watch the "Guidance" video in the curriculum above.
Also, a tablet device such as an iPad is convenient for using the problem set, so the following video briefly explains how to use an iPad.
