Taylor Tutorial and
Simulation Software
A flexible, interactive computerized tutorial is
available for students to review basic concepts covered in
the text. A tutorial for each chapter in the text provides a
second opportunity for students to review concepts and
models and then to test themselves on what they've learned.
A glossary and context-sensitive help are always available.
The simulation component of the software includes more than
60 years of data on more than twenty key economic
indicators, allowing students to graph and compare various
measurement instruments and print out their results.
Download a demo of the software:
This demo (available for the PC only) contains chapters

glossary is also available for previewing. The demo is 2.72
MB and depending on the speed of your Internet connection,
may take anywhere from a few seconds to 15-30 minutes to
download on a 14.4 or 28.8 modem. If you need assistance

will be copied to your computer.
Step III: Decompress the demo on your
computer
- Leave your browser and click to the Download
folder (or other place to which you saved the files)
on your C: drive. The files are compressed to save time
downloading. You will need to decompress the files to

folder. The files will be expanded in DOS mode. You may
see a black screen appear. Click back to the C: drive
folder and double click on demo2.exe. The files
will expand. Double click on demo3.exe and the
files will expand. (Win3.1 users may need to click in and
out of the Download folder in order to show the expanded
files.)
Step IV: Install (Run
Setup.exe)
- Go to the C:/Download folder where you decompressed
the files in Step III (2). Click on Setup.exe.
This will run the installation program.
Step V: Run the program
