regarding your last question about the sequence of math courses and the time you have, i think it really depends on the school you are currently attending and the courses that are being offered; you should really check the course calendars/schedule of classes (if available) and try to work out a possible timetable from there.
i was in somewhat same situation as you, because i was in business for the first two years of my undergrad and starting my junior year i did catch-up with required econ courses (switched to honours econ), as well as trying to fit in some math. i'm almost finished my econ req's but stilll very deficient in math - the way i did it was:
(previous math background from freshman/junior years: business stats, business calculus, all quite useless IMO).
this summer i took:
- introduction to logic and sets
- intro linear algebra
- calculus I
- calulus II
this fall i am taking
- set theory (continuation of intro to logic & sets)
- game theory from math dept
- + econ courses
winter i am taking
- introduction to analysis (real analysis I) - pre-req for this course is only intro to logic and set theory
- + econ
summer:
- probability
- calculus III
- ODE
and then hopefully fall 2007 i will enter MA Econ. i figure above should be enough for Master's in Econ. if i know for sure i want to pursue PhD, i'll probably apply for fall 2009 entry; i can probably fit in some extra math after i finish up my MA since it's only 1 year program. anyway, good luck with your course planning.
