Econ 141 with Math 54 concurrently

[ucbalumnus]

<p>Here is the home page for Powell’s 141 from fall 2009:
[Economics</a> 141, Econometric Analysis](<a href=“http://emlab.berkeley.edu/users/powell/e141_f08/e141.html]Economics”>Economics 141, Econometric Analysis)</p>

<p>It has a course outline here:

Prerequisites: Statistics 20 and Math 53-54 or the equivalent. The first few lectures will review the pertinent material from statistics; students must be comfortable with these basic concepts of probability theory and statistical inference, and, more generally, with mathematical derivations and arguments. Matrix algebra and multivariate calculus will be used later in the course.

<p>There is also a page of notes on matrix algebra:

<p>Math 54 typically covers linear algebra in the first half of the course:

<p>You may want to ask the instructor of Economics 141 when linear algebra will start to be used and compare that with the schedule for Math 54.</p>
