Intermediate Economics - No Calculus?!?!

[bre1]

Hi, I'm transferring from a California community college to a small Cal State university this fall. The school and the economics program is small.

I pre-ordered the book for my intermediate micro course (Intermediate Microeconomics and Its Application by Nicholson and Snyder) and looking through it, it seems to cover the same material as my micro course, at the same mathematical sophistication despite calculus being a prerequisite.

Is this normal for an intermediate micro course? I was looking forward to get down and dirty with some calculus based economics, but this book is making me think I chose a program with low-expectations. I downloaded and read through some of a free micro econ book written by a professor at Cal Tech, and that is all calculus (it's all the same stuff we learned in micro econ, it just dispenses with the discrete math, which in some ways actually makes it simpler, or more parsimonious anyway.)

In my introductory micro econ class, I took the initiative to reframe the discrete math into calculus, and it wasn't difficult, I was just hoping when I transferred to university I'd start to be with a class that was on the same page. So, is it normal for a intermediate micro econ book to not use calculus?
