<p>Is it easier than a math major?</p>
<p>I personally find statistics more difficult than calculus. I took calculus 2 and statistical methods in economics this semester, and the statistics course was consistently stressful for me. Calculus made sense to me – I understand the progression and the concepts. Integration, differential equations, and series seemed to flow and make conceptual sense, but statistics just seemed like a mess of barely-related topics that I couldn’t keep straight in my head.</p>
<p>I liked calculus including single-variable and multivariable calculus and also classes based on it like differential equations and partial differential equations. However probability and statistics were so hard to understand and boring for me =(</p>
<p>depends completely on the person…for me I love probability so applied math wins out over pure math (where I probably can’t handle the hardcore theory), but I TA for prob and stats and ALOT of very smart engineering students fall behind…it’s all about your own mindset and how you think, i’d say</p>
