<p>I'm planning on taking Math 54, Econ 101A, Stat 21, and another filler course next semester. I'm an econ major, 2nd year. Im taking Math 53 and Econ 101B (and 2 filler courses) right now. </p>
<p>I was wondering how difficult this course load would be.</p>
<p>If you like math and are good at it, that course load should not be too hard or time consuming (basically like three math courses).</p>
<p>If you intend to go to graduate school in economics, perhaps consider Statistics 134 instead of 21. See [Preparation</a> | Department of Economics](<a href=“http://live.econ.berkeley.edu/grad/admissions/preparation]Preparation”>Preparation | Department of Economics)</p>
<p>If you get Grunbaum for 54, you’ll have an abnormally high amount of homework.</p>
<p>That is my schedule this semester. Except I’m taking 100a. So far it’s not too bad although I heard that 54 gets more intense towards the end of the semester.</p>
<p>If you get Grunbaum for any class, you’ll have a fun time.</p>
<p>^Indeed. In fact, I’ve had SO much fun with his homework problems on Cramer’s Rule and the Gram-Scmidt process.</p>
<p>I look forward to the Differential Equations part and its even more involved computations!</p>
<p>Grunbaum’s hw for 54 is actually very reasonable…just saying…you can expect ~20-30 problems per assignment, and they are due on monday and friday.</p>
<p>Yeah, but in upper divs, I think it’s 10 per week instead of 20-30 every half week.</p>
<p>Well I plan on taking Stat 134 as a junior because I heard it is difficult, and I at least want to make sure I get into the Econ major first. That’s why I’m taking Stat 21 first. Would you suggest otherwise?</p>
