I'm a junior economics student in my BSc... I don't like math at all, I was not good at it at all before I chose Economics, nonetheless I'm the winner of my scholarship and one of those TOP-15 students at my university (probably number 1) the thing is you do not have to be good at math to study Economics, You should be good at math to understand some concepts of it, and you can surely learn it after your choice of Economics.

[@oliwerwirkus9006]

I like the quote from Kaynes on what does it mean to be a (master) economist: “The master-economist must possess a rare combination of gifts .... He must be mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher-in some degree. He must understand symbols and speak in words. He must contemplate the particular, in terms of the general, and touch abstract and concrete in the same flight of thought. He must study the present in the light of the past for the purposes of the future. No part of man's nature or his institutions must be entirely outside his regard. He must be purposeful and disinterested in a simultaneous mood, as aloof and incorruptible as an artist, yet sometimes as near to earth as a politician.” I'm not sure if it's helpful when you're choosing your degree, but it inspired me when I was beginning my journey with the subject, it shows how wide the area really is and how much room for development you can find there. Btw I'll be a freshman at the double bachelor econ&econometrics at EUR this year, so potentially see you soon!

It varies from college to college, some college have 40% maths and 50% theory and 10% practical even in BA program, and these colleges are really worth it!

[@joshuabertrand9277]

​​@@hupehupeto2biber525 came to say the exact same thing. I have my BA in Economics from a well-known, state university. Going for my master's now but in public administration. For Economics, it varies widely on the university one attends. With my school, although a BA only required calculus 1 as the highest pure math course, many of the Economics classes I took required some skill or coursework in calculus 2 and 3 as well as differential equations and linear algebra. Truly, one of the reasons why my GPA suffered in my undergrad.

I have earned a BA Econ. and MBA Finance. When I was an undergrad, Macro was the key course and public policy. Fiscal and Monetary policy would rule the day. Now with advent of Behavioral Economics and its association to Micro, suddenly in the age of the internet and AI, BE and Micro have risen in importance. Suddenly, use of micro modeling in a firm is not seen as purely academic.

ECONOMICS AINT FOR YOU. Well, I'm somehow doing ok, and my grades have not dropped by god's grace but that doesn't mean my life is easy.

I studied economics and mathematics in college, and I agree with you! I would add that economics is different than other sciences in that it combines insights from several disciplines, such as psychology , history, math, and statistics. This is because the bottom line is economists are trying to understand how people make choices. Analyzing how these choices affect the market is what makes it economics. I work in software now and I feel that my education prepared me better than most in problem solving and being able to see things from a business perspective and from a technical standpoint. Great post!

[@venchi7933]

Hi there! What type of Math did you study under Economics? I'm preparing for college right now and I'm aiming for a major that will help me land a job in the financial sector. I'm torn between Economics and Accounting at the moment. I really like Econ because it's a broader field (and much more interesting) but I worry that it might not give me the mathematical foundation I need for a job in the financial sector. Is the focus it puts on the sociological and mathematical parts of the economy equal? Or does it focus more on the sociological part? I'd really appreciate your input on this :D

Economics is very interesting but graduate school involves a LOT of math, calculus, linear algebra, differential equations. I like math, but I'm only average at it. Econometrics is mostly quantitative methods that you would find in most other social sciences. Not too bad. However in many universities, getting into grad school economics programs is very competitive. They also they require you to do all the heavy math courses.

[@sofiaassecondi8635]

Thank you for this video!! I’m currently picking between engineering or economics, and it’s a really hard choice for me because I have a great passion for both English and mathematics. I thought Econ might be a good blend of the two. In econ, do you do a lot of statistics? Because in that case I feel like data analysis would render it kind of dry for me. Or is there also calculus? That’s one of my favourite concepts in math. And is there a lot of history in economics? That’s one of the few subjects in school I never got my head around haha😅 thanks!
