<p>How hard are these following classes? Workload?</p>
<p>ECON W3211 Intermediate Microeconomics (3) and ECON W3213 Intermediate Macroeconomics (3)
MATH V3027 Ordinary Differential Equations (3) and MATH V3028 Partial Differential Equations (3)
STAT W3105 Introduction to Probability (3) and STAT W3107 Introduction to Statistical Inference (3)</p>

<p>Do you think they are doable together?</p>
<p>Micro and Macro are jokes if you are halfway decent in math and take dutta and sala-i-martin respectively.</p>
<p>ODE and PDE are going to be work, and at that level going to be proofs, be ready. I found PDE easier than ODE, but taking it after ODE helped, but was not necessary. </p>
<p>3105 and 3107, can’t comment, because I took 4000 levels of both, but I heard that both were much much much easier, esp 3107 which didn’t have a final.</p>
<p>How were the 4000 levels of Statistics and Probability?</p>
<p>Also, is ODE/PDE harder or easier than Honors Math A-B?</p>
<p>I haven’t taken pde but ode was horrible horrible horrible. the teacher this past semester was absolutely miserable–he didn’t know how to teach at all. So that obviously makes it a bit harder than necessary. As for proofs, my ODE class had no proofs–it was straight forward applications of the material. I have heard PDE is all proofs though, especially the second half.</p>
<p>I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone doing both ode and pde together–I really think taking ode before pde would be helpful. Plus I don’t know why you’d want to do that to your schedule (because honestly it looks pretty miserable to me…though that is just my opinion)</p>
<p>As for probability–at least the culpa review seems to make it look pretty easy. I’m taking it next semester hoping that it’s on the easy side.</p>

<p>take macro with xavier sala-i-martin and micro with susan elmes, don’t even think about any other profs for these classes. Macro with Xavier ranges from very easy if you’re good at math and logic to a real pain if you’re not all that good at math and logic. Micro is many hours of work, but if you’re good at math then interesting and doable, most problem sets are tough because they are filled with nuance and good inferences - it’s what a college class should be like.</p>
<p>PDE is proof based and far tougher than ODE, ODE is decently tough but not very hard with consistent effort.</p>
<p>3105 has some difficult parts to it but is undergrad only and not an impossible class by any means. Don’t know much about 3107.</p>
<p>No, I’m not taking these classes all in the same semester (not suicidal haha). I want to take the first three (ECON W3211, MATH V3027, STAT W3105) in the Fall and the second three (ECON W3213, MATH V3028, STAT W3107) in the Spring. I’ll also being taking some other core classes and electives too.</p>
