<p>I am applying to the Naval Academy for the Class of 2011 and am hoping to major in quantitative economics. I think I have an idea of what it is, but I what to get a more detailed explanation of what it's all about (I don't want to get there and find out it's something completely different). Is it just as it sounds, a more numerical approach to the study of economics, or is there more to it? Thanks</p>
