Economics and Calculus URGENT!?
Is it necessary / compulsory for me to take calculus if i want to take economics as major in university?
Can i still take economics as major without taking any calculus course?
if i didnt take any applied math / pure math in high school, would it be every difficult for me to study calculus?
THX ALOT! : D
Answer:
In my university, differential calculus and statistics is required to get an undergraduate degree with a major in economics.
In order to get an honours degree, you need integral calculus and
a course in applied calculus.
In high school, I'd suggest taking a pre-calculus course and linear algebra course. You should know functions etc.
However, you can always take these courses in university in the first/second year as first and second year economics is dealing more with theory than application.
But suffice to say economics has a large math component.
The more you get the better.
Peace
If you plan to major in economics, you will need calculus. If you only plan to take one micro econ and one macro econ, you can get by without it. However, once you get into econometrics and modeling, basic calculus skills are essential.
Calculus will lead into econometrics as the other writter stated, leading to simple and complicated models.
From understanding the calculus behind these models you can set yourself for honours, masters and PhD because you will have the ability to conduct and read research material.
I hope this helps =)
