<p>I have to register for classes tomorrow morning, and had two quick questions about classes.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Is it better to take introduction to microeconomics or intro to macroeconomics first? I'm leaning towards micro.</p></li>
<li><p>I am a Peabody student, but am considering a double major in Econ. Peabody only requires Math 140, but Econ recommends two semesters of calc, so I was consisting taking math 150A. Is math and Econ going to be very rigorous first semester, or is it manageable? I don't wanna completely overwhelm myself! </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks! </p>
<p>Macro is a prereq for Micro, so your question is answered for you. There is no Vandy reason to take 150 versus 140 if you will never take a higher calc course, but some employers may look down on “survey of calculus”.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply @SurvivorFan !
Are you positive that macro is a pre req for micro? I haven’t been able to find that information anywhere. Also, do you have any insight into how difficult math 150 is? Is it reasonable to take at the same time as Econ? </p>
<p>@ohheythere4 If you look up the description of your classes on your YES account , you will find that for micro you need to take macro first. Just click in the courses in your cart for that information.</p>
<p>It is certainly reasonable and quite normal to take Calculus (150 or 155) and Econ at the same time.</p>
