<p>Is economics more of a social science or does it involve a lot of math at top schools? Would they look down on someone weak in math wanting to major there?</p>
<p>What other major is there for someone wanting to go to Wall Street? (Don't say accounting, and Finance isn't an option since it isn't offered.)</p>
<p>There’s going to be a good deal of math in any economics program. I think the caliber of the school will dictate what level of math is used. Meaning, at a less rigorous school the the classes will probably be algebra-based, but a higher ranked school they would be using calculus more extensively. Either way though, there will be math involved.</p>
<p>Yes, better schools for economics will use a lot of math. If you plan to go to graduate school in economics, the minimum recommended math courses include multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations, and additional math like real analysis is often recommended.</p>
