<p>This is as damning an indictment of economics as a useful social science than anything I’ve read in a long time. </p>

<p>According to Michigan’s course catalog, Economics 401 and 402 are intermediate level courses with advisory prerequisites of 101 and 102 for 401, and 401 for 402. The minimum math prerequisite is Math 115, which is calculus 1.

<p>I was an economics major. I suggest she takes macro. It’s definitely easier, and it requires very little (if any) math at the introductory level. Plus it touches upon many topics that every citizen should know about how the economy works. I personally much preferred microeconomics, but I loved math . . .Both are great, but given your circumstance and the fact your daughter isn’t terribly excited about either, I think macro is going to feel more relevant to her.</p>
