<p>Including
- Mathematical Economics Major
- Economics major known for the quantitative aspect
- Economics major with possible concentration/emphasis on Math/Mathematical Economics/Finance/Accounting</p>
<p>Please help find top schools for any of the above categories. I'd prefer the school to allow double majors.</p>
<p>Did you try googling for “mathematical economics major”?</p>

Thank you so much for the links! I’m currently considering Northwestern, Brown, Rice, and Yale. If anyone could provide insight to their Mathematics and Economics/Social Science programs, please comment.</p>
<p>Go to each school’s course catalog and look for the following:</p>
<p>a. Intermediate microeconomics and econometrics courses that list as prerequisites math courses more advanced than frosh calculus.
b. Advanced mathematical economics courses.</p>
<p>Simplying having a math/economics major does not necessarily that the economics courses are more heavily mathematical than those aimed at students looking at economics as a substitute business major. For example, UCLA has a math/economics major, while Berkeley does not, but Berkeley offers intermediate microeconomics and econometrics courses with greater math content.</p>
<p>@ucbalumnus </p>
<p>Would frosh calculus include multivariable or linear algebra? </p>
<p>I’m not quite sure what ‘Advanced mathematical economics courses’ would include. As far as I know, mathematical economics simply included more mathematical work when learning the usual economics courses, such as Econometrics.</p>
<p>Frosh calculus is single variable calculus. The high school AP calculus BC syllabus emulates it, although there are some variations at different colleges. Multivariable calculus may be called Calculus 3 at semester system schools, or Calculus 3 and 4 at quarter system schools. Linear algebra is typically a sophomore level math course, as is differential equations.</p>
<p>Advanced mathematical economics courses would be courses like this that can be taken as electives beyond the core intermediate micro/macro economics and econometrics courses:
<a href=“http://eml.berkeley.edu/~dahn/C103syllabus.pdf”>http://eml.berkeley.edu/~dahn/C103syllabus.pdf</a></p>
<p>As far as math content of the core intermediate microeconomics and econometrics courses go, some schools like MIT, Chicago, and Stanford require more advanced math than frosh calculus for them. Others, like Harvard and Berkeley, offer a choice of less math and more math versions of these courses.</p>
<p>@ucbalumnus </p>
<p>Thanks! Would game theory be counted as advanced? If not, would advanced game theory, as opposed to game theory, be counted as advanced mathematical economics?</p>
<p>Game theory is often a junior/senior level economics elective; whether it is highly mathematical depends on the school.</p>
<p>@ucbalumnus </p>
<p>The link your provided was essentially advanced game theory. I was just wondering how I would be able to tell apart a course that is mathematically heavy and one that isn’t, when they have the same names. </p>
<p>I suppose the point of this thread is to look for any school with known truly mathematical economics programs. </p>
<p>Of course, some schools with math-heavy economics departments may not have a formalized math economics major. For example, MIT, Chicago, Stanford, Harvard, and Berkeley are not on the list in reply #1 listing schools with a formalized math economics major.</p>
<p>@ucbalumnus
So how can we tell if it is math-heavy?</p>
<p>Most majors do include courses called advanced game theory, but it could either involve a lot of very little mathematics. </p>
<p>For most colleges course catalogs, course syllabus, textbooks and sometimes detailed assignment are available online. As an example a quick search for Penn’s econometrics courses leads you to several. I picked Econ 222, Advanced Econometrics Techniques. See <a href=“http://economics.sas.upenn.edu/undergraduate-program/courses/econ-222-advanced-econometric-techniques-and-applications”>http://economics.sas.upenn.edu/undergraduate-program/courses/econ-222-advanced-econometric-techniques-and-applications</a> I then did a quick search for Econ 222 textbooks, and that led me to <a href=“Untitled Document”>http://athena.sas.upenn.edu/petra/econ222.htm</a> and there you can see the syllabus and textbooks. You can draw your conclusion re course rigor accordingly.</p>
