I'm sorry.

Economics only needs basic calculus and basic linear algebra.

Linguistically, they do. The point I'm making is that a science is either 'hard' or 'soft', not 'hard' or 'easy'.

Probabilities, arithmetic series and geometric series, exponential functions, derivative, economical models, normal distribution, linear algebra and all kinds of equations and stuff. All good to know for a business man/economist/finance person ...

>> No.4489743

>>4489589

Phds use a lot of math, advanced Statistics and econometrics

real analysis and advanced calc + stochastic calculus depending on what you do

also dynamic optimization & non-linear programming
