<p>What can one expect in these classes? Generally speaking, how much calculus will be involved for any other upper div econ classes</p>
<p>I'm about to finish Math20a and i'm going to finish 20b and 20c at other UC's during summer session.
I have an A so far and the new stuff we're learning, L Hopital rule etc is hella easy compared to Chain rule, implicit, etc.</p>
<p>You’re learning implicit differation in math 20a? I learned that stuff in first semester of calc AB in high school. If math is that easy for an econ major I am lookoing forward to it.</p>
<p>My CC calculus class gets articulation to UCSD’s 20 series so yeah i guess…</p>
<p>^If it’s that easy, then you have no excuse not to get straight A’s in math here.</p>
<p>nujabes, The calculus in econometrics/economics isn’t bad. There are some tricky calculus concepts that our professor had us derive in 120B, but for the 100 series it is just multivariable I believe.</p>

<p>cool stuff. do you have any links to past/current professors of upper div econ? i’m assuming there might be past tests on the sites. (hopefully)</p>

Well math20a is equivalent to Calc AB… </p>
<p>I would not want to go in to that class with that attitude. If you didn’t know, the difficulty is curved so that the average is a B- so it’s not as easy as you would think. You’re also surrounded by the engineer/math majors as well. But good luck.</p>
<p>Calculus is used minimally in undergraduate econometrics (except when professors prove certain laws/axioms). It’s mainly hypothesis testing, descriptive statistics, regression analysis, and introductory time series/forecasting.</p>
<p>Micro and Macro touch more on calculus, but you don’t need to necessarily be a Calc-whiz to do well at the undergraduate level.</p>
<p>Graduate economics, on the other hand…</p>
