Does one need to take Math 53 for ECON 101A and 101B?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>I'd really rather take 101A with Dellavinga in the Fall as opposed to 100B with Olney in the Fall. I was very good at Calcs 1 and 2 but I never took multivariate. Do you think I would be underprepared for 101A if I got Berkeley to waive the Math 53 prereq?</p>

<p>URE FINE i took dellavigna i got an A. i knew ppl that only took 1b or calc 2 equiv. but rmbr if u decide to do 101a IT WILL BE HARD REGARDLESS not because of intense math but cuz of the intricate methodologies he simplifies the material so u just take what he gives u and rmbr it. the most 53 ull be using is partial derivatives and that u can learn on ure own</p>
