Math 10a/20a for economics major

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - San Diego

<p>My major's undeclared as of now, but I'm thinking of either Economics or Management Science. </p>

<p>I'm going to Thurgood Marshall and one of the GE requirements are two math courses. Econ major requires 10a/20a, and Management Science requires 20a.</p>

<p>So my questions are:
1. When the econ major says '10a/20a', it means that I can take EITHER 10a OR 20a and they will count?
2. I have NEVER taken calculus before. It's too long to explain, but I have no foundation in calculus. Would it be really hard for me to start with math 20a? Should I just stick with 10a?
3. If I take math 10a, will it transfer as BOTH a GE credit AND my major requirement?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<li>Yes</li>
<li>Both 20A and 10A are designed for people who've completed precalculus. If you've done this, you're prepared for either.</li>
<li>Yup. And so will 20A.</li>
