<p>I decided I wanted to look through and see if I could find anything which sounded good to fill out 18 credits (it really bothers me to not use all the credits I'm paying for), and noticed there are graduate level classes they let me signup for.</p>
<p>Anyone know how hard of a class Game Theory (SI 563) is? It's got a big number (which makes me think it's hard), but it had no prerequisites, is only a credit and a half (7 week class), and sounds like something I'd want to take a class in. </p>
<p>And another, Actuarial Math (Math 821)? A google search shows all sorts of math required, yet there are no prerequisites for this.</p>
<p>Have you taken AP Calc BC? If you have, there is a good chance you have covered most of the math you need for graduate level Economics. Some Linear Algebra and Statistics would help though.</p>
<p>Game Theory and Econometrics are more Math than Econ anyway. I would recommend taking Econ 101 and 102 and even Econ 401 and 402 before delving into advanced courses in Game Theory and Econometrics because that way, you fully understand the applications.</p>
<p>I agree with Alexandre. Although you probably have all the math knowledge for the graduate courses, you probably will be at a significant disadvantage because you don’t truly understand economics [and the math applied in economics] at a graduate level. I would suggest taking up to econ 401 before taking game theory and at least take math 425 before taking actuarial math.</p>
