Should I take a math class senior year of high school if I want to major in Economics?

So I want to double major in Economics and History and I was wondering if I should take another math class senior year?

Here are the math classes I have taken:

7th grade: Alg 1
8th Grade: Geometry
9th Grade: Alg 2 and Trig
10th Grade: Pre-Calc
11th Grade: AP Calc BC & AP Stats

The next class that I can take is Calc 3 and Linear Algebra, but is it worth taking or should I be fine with what I have?
Will College Admissions look down on my decision to not take another math class?

Instead of taking Calc 3 and Lin Alg I was thinking about taking a class like Philosophy and Sociology.

Thanks in advance!

I’d say you don’t need to take Cal 3 & Linear Algebra in high school. However, it seems you’re way advanced in Math and should consider double majoring in Economics & Math. A strong math background will make you more marketable if you go to work after undergrad and more competitive if you want to go to grad school.

Are these actual college courses? If not, you may have difficulty getting credit or placement for them.

More math is beneficial for an economics major, particularly if you want to go on to PhD study, but it is not necessary to take those additional math courses in high school.
