<p>So i guess econ needs 1 year of calculus, what math course do you think I should take in the first semester as a freshman so that it later helps me.
I want to double major in psych/socio.</p>
<p>See the <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/1305840-freshman-math-faq.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/1305840-freshman-math-faq.html</a> for information on math placement.</p>
<p>For the economics major, the less math option with Economics 100A-100B-140 requires Math 16B or 1B.</p>
<p>The more math option with Economics 101A-101B-141 requires Math 53 and 54, for which Math 1B (or 5 on AP calculus BC) is a prerequisite. The more math option is recommended for students considering graduate school in economics, and such students are often recommended to take some upper division math courses as well.</p>
