<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I'm an entering IR major thinking of concentrating in International Economics. Problem is, I'm pretty terrible at math but I absolutely loved high school econ and did pretty well in it. </p>

<p>Question is, what kind of math/how much of it is required for the intermediate and advanced economics classes? I won't get into game theory or any of that but I'll probably take Advanced Macroeconomics.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>PS. Totally unrelated but is it true that you can only do one minor?</p>

<p>Looks like you only need introductory calculus, which is limits and differentiation.</p>

<p>Okay, great thanks a lot! I think I’ll go ahead and take Math 5 and Math 11. Not going to deal with Math 12…</p>
