<p>If you want to read something more advanced on the topics you mentioned, I’d recommend &lt;&lt;Macroeconomics: Imperfections, Institutions, and Policies&gt;&gt; by Wendy Carlin and David Soskice</p>

<p>Blanchard is a good text. I am not sure what exactly you are looking for. Most undergrad macro texts are written in a similar way. But if you want to check an alternative presentation of the material, I recommend Mankiw's Macroeconomics.
If memory serves me well, Blanchard uses a medium-run AS while Mankiw prefers to use short-run and long-run curves. It is possible that both authors present LM curves differently.</p>

<p>I am currently taking an intro to macroeconomics class, and I am looking for undergraduate level study material to understand the IS-LM model and its interactions with the AS-AD model. Can you give me any good recommendation? I have no problems dealing with any math intensive material. The textbook that I am reading at the moment is Macroeconomics by Olivier Blanchard.</p>

t is very difficult to answer without further details by the OP. Maybe, the OP (as they speaks of mathematics) thinks that Blanchard is unsatisfactory with regard to formalization, but it's just a guess. –

# Textbook Recommendation for IS-LM AS-AD Models

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-04-07)

I am currently taking an intro to macroeconomics class, and I am looking for undergraduate level study material to understand the IS-LM model and its interactions with the AS-AD model. Can you give me any good recommendation? I have no problems dealing with any math intensive material. The textbook that I am reading at the moment is Macroeconomics by Olivier Blanchard.
