<p>I like to learn about economics and business in the future and so currently I take online class of AP micro. It is very hard to understand all the graphs and lines for different unrealistic situations such as pure competitive and pure monopoly systems. Will econ major be less on graphs and more on how the system work or will it be as painful as AP micro ?</p>

<p>Fewer graphs but definitely still graphs to memorize. They’re a little easier to remember, however.</p>

<p>It will definitely be more mathematical and abstract, which probably isn’t want you want to hear (for example, everything you learn with the word “marginal” in it will have to be relearned with calculus). Also, if you are trying to memorize a bunch of graphs then you are learning it incorrectly - most of the class only needs 1 type of graph (supply and demand). If you understand what’s going on you should be able to recreate any scenario.</p>

<p>^ this
all of the ‘area of the this square by these 5 points’ will be integrals and each marginal curve will just be the derivative of something you already have, you will be able to make these graphs but it will be much more mathematically complex</p>
