<p>I was wondering if it would be impossible to take econ 100b and econ 101a together?</p>
<p>And how much multivariable calculus would i need for 101a?
(and for bg info: i've taken math 1b 53 54 55 110, stat 134, and i didn't really excel in any of those, just did alright).</p>
<p>And does anyone know how wood is for econ 100b and card for econ 101a?
Thanks!</p>
<p>what major needs econ 101a/b, math 110, and stat 134? jw</p>
<p>The catalog says that 100/101 A/B are not prerequisites for each other, so taking the A and B simultaneously should be fine.</p>
<p>The 101 versions are probably better for someone with sufficient math background, or who wants to go to graduate school in economics.</p>
<p>As far as majors go, it could be that the OP is trying to add some career utility (quantitative finance or actuarial) to a math or statistics major.</p>
<p>Econ 101A requires knowledge of Lagrange multipliers from Math 53. If you’ve taken all those math/stats classes you should be fine.</p>
<p>Wood has terrible ratings on RatemyProf/NinjaCourses. David Card is supposed to be one of the best Econ profs especially for 101A.</p>
<p>crowslayer91 - i’m actually a math major with the goal of becoming an actuary (as ucbalumnus as stated 
)</p>
<p>ucbalumnus - would it be too difficult to take them at the same time? </p>
<p>copperback - i heard card is really good, too! but how often does he teach 101a? does anyone know? i would like to take it with him but if he’s not teaching spring for 101a, then i dont want to miss out.</p>
<p>thank youuu for your replies :)</p>
<p>Can’t imagine Economics 100/101 A/B being any more difficult or any more work than a Math course. Why not 101B instead of 100B?</p>
