| The Cal Bar
Have a topic that will only take one or two posts to fully deal with? This is the place! Welcome to the Cal bar, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We're here to serve.
Please note, this bar only serves generalized concoctions and deliciously inane side orders. If you believe that your brew will take at least 6 ingredients (posts), then feel free to consider a separate thread.
Thank you,
The Cal Bar Management |

| How respected is Cal's mathematics department?
[Management: Here is a perfect example of bar material.]
dhl3 asked,
"I'm still waiting for Cal's decision (I'm a transfer student from CCC). I applied as Economics major, but after reading various posts about job prospect about econ major, I figured if I either major or minor in something in addition to Econ, I'd have a lot more diverse opportunity for my career, so I began to consider double-majoring Economics and Mathematics.
I'm just curious how respected the Berkeley's math department is and if it's do-able to finish the degree requirement for both econ and math major within 3 years. The highest math I completed is Calc II, so if I get into Berkeley, I'll have to spend my first year there completing the lower-division math courses (Calc III and Differential Equation/Linear Algebra).
Also, do you think Econ and Math is a good combination?
Thanks in advance."
Customer number 1, waiting for his order... | |

| On Berkeleys website it says it doesn't use latin honor rankings (cum laude and such). I was wondering if the required GPA needed for the particular ranking includes community college/courses transferred from diff schools, or is it just a berkeley gpa? UCLAri I know you're very informed about UCLA so if you happen to pop buy and know the answer to this for UCLA I'd appreciate that as well. | |

| As far as I know, all of the UCs only use grades received AT the UC to calculate Latin honors. UCLA did, and I'm almost 100% positive that Cal is not an exception. | |

| I'll try to tackle dhl3's question. From what I've seen Berkeley boasts the nations 4th best math program. Econ + Math is deff doable in 3 years, however I think it would be much easier to take some courses over the summer to lighten the load during the semesters. Econ + Math...from Berkeley? I'd say you would be a very marketable student. Further more, if you decide to pursue any sort of business market with those degrees, it would certainly get your "foot in the door" and set you up for a possible MBA in 3 years or so. Hope that helps. | |

| The management makes no specific claims about how much it has been drinking, but rest assured that the man on duty is well below his limit for drinks.
Just not on grading papers. He's well above the limit on that. | |

| Sure. Also consider doing a single major, applied mathematics - economics focus. | |

| Can anybody recommend any Econ courses? I'm done with 101 series, planning on taking 141 next semester. I'm looking for something mathematical, or perhaps to something to do with finance.. Would UGBA 103 or Econ 136 be good?.. I'll also take any other recommendations for Econ and UGBA courses in general..
Also, any recommendations for CS courses? I will be done with 61 series and planning on taking CS 170 next semester..
hmm.. dunno if this is short enough to be considered Cal Bar material... | |
