Math 16A/16B or Math 3A/3B

UCSD should take the 16A/16B series…I think the management science option is the one that requires the higher level calculus, not the normal economics. UCLA is the only one I know of that doesn’t accept 16A/16B.

UCSD will make you take Math 10C though (this would be like Math 16C if it existed or Math 16B part 2) but they let you take courses alongside it such as Econ 2 and electives.

I don’t think Berkeley or Davis will limit your chance of taking upper div. classes if you took 16A/B. It wouldn’t make any sense to offer it as an option and then limit courses if a student chose that option.

All the universities except UCLA allow either the 16 series or the 3 series so it’s up to you either way. The only downside is that UCLA doesn’t accept the 16 series and UCSD requires the 3 series for Management Science.
