<p>I’m not sure how’s it at UCSD, but Econ 1 is Mircro Economics, and I’ve taken AP Micro Economics at highschool and earned a 5.</p>
<p>There’s some math, such as slopes, max and min, derivative. Basic fractions calculations, graphs…etc.</p>
<p>The usually ideas of slopes, max, min, derivatives are just the concepts and does not require a complete understanding of calculus or perhaps precalc. The math in econ 1 is common sense math.</p>
