If you are going to be an economics major, it is not at all necessary to take intro (I never did). Intermediate will fully rehash all the topics but at a deeper level of rigor. Really, it is the math one should worry about. In fact, you rarely hear economics majors saying that the theory is too difficult. On the contrary, the paradox is that the math behind such seemingly simple ideas can be so profoundly complicated.
