<p>Also, in high school, I got a 3 on the AP Calc AB test and that gives me credit for Calc I, which is a prerequisite for Intermediate Microeconomics (and Accounting, too). I haven't taken a math course since senior year of high school and now I am a sophomore in college. Is there a lot of difficult math involved in Intermediate Microeconomics?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I took Intermediate Microecon at my school, and the difficulty of it came pretty much from your understanding of math. If you were good at math, the class was easy. If you were bad, the class was hard.</p>
<p>Based on what you said of your math ability, I would think you’d have some trouble.</p>
<p>Intermediate Micro is all math. As you get more advanced in Econ things become much more math and much less “economics-y”.</p>
<p>My intermediate micro class used differential calc. Nothing fancy, just finding a derivative and setting it to zero, which is much of the math in econ. I would review single-var calc and also familiarize yourself w/ partial derivatives if you haven’t done so yet. You need to know them for micro because in many cases you’re dealing w/ more than one variable. Also learn what lagrange multipliers are and how to apply them. They were used frequently in my micro text and are an important technique in econ. </p>
<p>I haven’t taken managerial accounting, only financial, but for me micro was easier since it seemed more intuitive. I’m not great at memorization, which is what a lot of accounting is, but it may be different in your case.</p>
