Ajaax:

I’m guessing that the 101 series sets you up for graduate school alongside the math pre-reqs, if I’m correct?



Yes. Preparation for graduate school in economics involves significantly more math than otherwise required for the economics major. Choosing 101A/101B/141 over 100A/100B/140 is the obvious route for someone planning for graduate school in economics. More about math recommended for economics graduate school:

If you transfer to Berkeley without the equivalent of Math 53 (multivariable calculus), you will not have the prerequisites for Economics 101A. If you do not have Math 53 and Math 54 (linear algebra and differential equations), you will not have the prerequisites for Economics 141.
