<p>what math level should an econ major be at before being able to more comfortably take the higher level courses?</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Intro calc/stat should do the trick. If you are interested in taking higher level math courses that focus in finance, courses like linear algebra and differential equations could be useful. For the more specific advisory/enforced prerequisites of higher level courses, go here:</p>

<p>Math 147? I don’t think taking interest theory is really necessary to do well in econ courses. I think econ 435 is the only one that actually uses some of the same math, but they don’t assume prior knowledge.</p>

<p>And math 425/426</p>

<p>According to my econ major friends, those kids are the ones who do well in ECON 406: Econometrics. The ones from 405 aren’t nearly as quantitatively prepared.</p>
