iovalc Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) I am a final year economics undergrad with basic mathematics background (calculus sequence, linear algebra, differential equations, intro real analysis, econometrics). I have the opportunity to take a year of mathematics, involving a choice of upper undergrad mathematics classes such as general topology, lebesgue measure, numerical analysis, linear algebra 2, mathematical statistics, linear models, complex analysis, PDEs, stochastic processes, among others. In your opinion, should I take this year of mathematics or would it be better to begin postgraduate economics immediately? Any advice appreciated. edit: to clarify, I am in Europe, hence Masters before PhD Edited September 15, 2018 by iovalc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startz Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Unless you are expecting to be a theorist, which is unusual, you do not need more math. And assuming you are at an American undergraduate institution you don't need a master's unless there is something unusual about your record.
