Does Econ really involve a lot of math?

No economics at a non phd level requires simple basic math. I am a math and physics major with a minor in economics and I find economics math to be elementary. Econometrics vs Statistics math major courses, econometrics is much easier (some universities might allow you to substitute some if not all the statistics courses for econometrics). Game theory requires more thinking than almost all economic courses, but not much math at all. You are not going to be using advance calculus or real analysis, so do not worry.
