<p>I realize this is a stupid question, but is a strong knowledge of calculus required for the upper level Business Economics courses?</p>
<p>I'm currently taking calculus in lower division, and I'm wondering if this math is going to be necessary for grasping the upper division coursework.</p>
<p>Thank you for honest answers regarding this. I realize the morally correct answer is that I should master all my coursework, but math is my sole academic weakness, and if calculus really is <em>that</em> fundamental to bizecon, I may just have to change my major. >_<</p>
<p>not really, you just need a very basic grasp of differentiation. veryyyy basic. if you don't like math, avoid the upper div classes with a mathematical orientation (140 series).</p>
<p>yep, basically you are just required to find the marginal cost function from the production function...(aka find the derivative of the prod. function). thats bout as hard as it gets.</p>
<p>for example: </p>
<p>production function-12x^2+4x=100
find the marginal cost function.</p>
