<p>Math isn't my strong suit but i really believe that economics would be interesting, I seem to do good in calculus however not so good in algebra. so is economics math intense? im not going to grad school in it just to get my bachelors degree.
I also plan on getting an associates in philosphy
alsoThe Department of Economics offers 3 paths to getting your degree. Please read over the following and decide whether you will be an Economics Major/College of Arts and Sciences, Economics Major/College of Business Administration, or Public Administration Major. what is the differnce between these?</p>

<p>Econ is mostly statistics for math. A hell of alot of statistics in fact, a B.S. Econ in my school takes something obscene like 8 statistics classes (Intro to stats 1, 2, Mathematical statistics 1,2,3, Econometrics 1,2,3). You can take even more statistics if you want, like experimental design, etc. Not too much calculus unless you go into hardcore quantitative finance. Statistics is useful though.</p>
<p>I’d imagine the business school econ degree is softer and doesn’t need so much math, but remember, the amount of math you do is directly correlated to your salary as long as you don’t major in math itself. This is why all the bio majors end up in poverty.</p>
<p>How can you be good at calculus and not so good at algebra?</p>
<p>That’s like saying I’m really good at running, but not so much at walking? </p>
<p>It is virtually impossible to be good at calculus and bad at algebra. I’d go as far to say it is impossible.</p>
<p>^ there’s a women that caught a rare disease that made her nearly schizophrenic normally but she becomes completely normal while running.</p>
<p>she was featured on the news, il try to find it if I can.</p>
<p>LOL, I’ve actually seen that news story. Had to do with some reaction to a shot she was given, or something. Actually thought of that exact story after I made that post.</p>
<p>I still stand by my post, though ;-)</p>
<p>Perhaps the OP is referring to linear algebra, which is a little more difficult than calculus.</p>
<p>Nah, the OP isn’t referring to linear algebra. He’s rambling about prospective majors in Econ, but is also talking getting an associates in Philosophy. My guess is he’s still in high school or just started community college.</p>
<p>“there’s a women that caught a rare disease that made her nearly schizophrenic normally but she becomes completely normal while running.”</p>
<p>I remembered seeing that too, I just found it on youtube, it’s called Dystonia

<p>first of all it is VERY POSSIBLE TO be good at calculus and not algebra i know plenty of people who have done it . Secondly if your not going to help ****</p>
<p>@undecidedname</p>
<p>It is very possible to understand the concept of calculus, but if you are not good at algebra, you will have very slim chances at finding the correct answer. Also, I am not sure of your standards when you say that you know plenty of people who are good at calculus and not strong in algebra. My standard of being well educated, or as you would say, “good,” is (at the minimum level) a tutor or above (such as one who uses the subject in their profession).</p>
<p>Secondly, if you are going to angrily take comments from other users, at least properly use “you’re,” which is “you are,” instead of the possessive “your.”</p>
<p>How about you’ere shut up.!</p>
