The philosophy of this program is to provide sufficient command of mathematical concepts to allow pursuit of an economics program emphasizing modern research problems. Economic theory has tended in recent decades to use more and more mathematics, and empirical research in economics has witnessed the development of large scale computational routines, utilizing the data processing capabilities of modern computers. The applied mathematics-economics concentration is designed to reflect the mathematical nature of modern economic theory and empirical research. Courses in the concentration include statistics, econometrics, mathematical programming, and applications to research.
a. AM 35; 36 (note that AM 33, 34 may substitute for AM 35, 36 with permission)
b. At least one course from AM 9, 16, 18 or CS 4, 15, or 17
e. At least one other 100 level course chosen from AM 120, 121, 166 to 170, MA 101, and others, with permission
d. At least three other 100 level economics courses. Of those three courses, at least two must be chosen from the "mathematical-economics" group. This group comprises EC 117, 147, 164, 175, 185, 186, and 187.
a. AM 35; 36 (note that AM 33, 34 may substitute for AM 35, 36 with permission)
b. At least one from AM 9, 16, 18 or CS 4, 15, or 17
f. Two other approved courses. Courses recommended to satisfy these remaining requirements include AM 117, 120, 121, 166 to 170, MA 101, and others, with permission.
d. At least five other 100 level economics courses. Of those five courses, at least three must be chosen from the "mathematical-economics" group. This group comprises EC 117, 147, 164, 175, 185, 186, and 187.
One of the approved courses in the concentration must satisfy the Sc.B. requirement of one semester of independent study, and may be fulfilled by taking AM 193, 194, EC 164, another approved course, or an approved internship.
