<p>Hi, I am a freshman planning on taking econ 1 in the fall, then econ 101a and 101b in the spring. I am pretty advanced mathematically and next year I want to take 201a and 201b and maybe 202a and 202b. </p>

<p>I am also signed up to take math 104 and 110 in the fall and may take 105 in the spring, but I'll drop 104 and 110 if it is not new material. I've heard analysis is all you really need for the 201a,b and 202a,b sequences. I might want to try the graduate analysis but not my first semester. </p>

<p>Has anyone taken these classes and what level of math should I be taking. Should I retake analysis at Berkeley?</p>

<p>In high school these are the math/stat classes I took:</p>

<p>Freshman year: honors precalc 1,2 (A, A)</p>

<p>Sophomore year: Calc 1,2 at cc that transfers as 1a, 1b according to assist.org (A,A), also 5 on AP calc BC test</p>

<p>Junior year: linear algebra (summer), fall multi variable calc (transfers as 53), spring differential eq'ns (together with linear algebra transfers as 54), (A,A,A)</p>

<p>Senior year: summer mathematical reasoning at UCSD (math 109: A), three quarters of real analysis at UCSD (math 140a,b,c: A,A,A+), winter probability and stats at UCSD (math 11: A)</p>

<p>Were you at a special school at UCSD? The math you’ve done takes years in college.</p>

<p>i passed some sort of placement test in 6th grade so was 2 years ahead which meant when i got to HS they ran out of math classes. So I started taking classes at a community college as a “concurrent high school student.” I finished the highest math class at the cc when I was a junior so my cc math teacher advised me to seek permission from the professors at ucsd to take their classes. I know people who took precalc their freshman years but who decided to stop at calculus or multivar calc. I wanted to take more since for me it would be hard to start back up again if I stopped.</p>

<p>The 140 sequence was a jump since the calc at the cc didn’t prepare me for proofs but the reasoning class over the summer at ucsd taught basic proofs and a lot of the examples were from real analysis. real analysis had very little to do with any of the math that I learned prior to it.</p>

<p>ucsd actually has a really good econ prog and i had a chance to talk to one prof at length. that’s who suggested that i take the grad sequence since i have the background (said basically that the grad level is the way it was meant to be taught and that there are <5 or so that do it every year at most schools including berkeley).</p>

<p>what trhe hell man. holy **** take a deep breath lol enjoy life ahahahah im JSUT tsaking 101b n stat 134 i havent even hit thet 104/110 yet and im gonna be a jnr.</p>

<p>I’ve talked with the dept advisor. I am taking math 110 and english R1A and will go to economics 201A and 202A. They said if there are seats next week they’ll give me an add code. Has anyone gotten one of those before?</p>

<p>yeah, professors usually have a few extra Class Entry Codes (CECs). When you get one of those, you’re in the class for sure.</p>
