HA! That's one of my favorites! I would go with Barro, though.

Sandra told me a packet (like a welcome aboard packet or something of that nature) would be mailed out in and around June.

Linear Algebra and Matrix Theory seems the most applicable in my opinion. I am sure that the prof might allow you to take this course barring the pre-requisites. I took a similar course at UC Berkeley and didn't use a huge amount of calculus-definitely tools you can learn on your own, especially if you have taken courses successfully in the past which made use of some basic calculus (I would guess that you are already familiar with the ins and outs of limits, basic differentiation and integration). I would ask the professor exactly what machinery from calculus would be used, if any, and learn that on your own and take that course.

They may very well have a class taken concurrently with the rest of the econ classes during the term called "Mathematics for Economists/Quantitative Methods" or something of that nature.

One of my Austrian-Anarcho-something friends from school just sent me this video about 2 months ago. You can wiki Schiff, he has an article. This video is the only tangible proof out there that I have witnessed of documenting an individual "predicting the financial collapse spot-on".

Something completely unrelated to economics. That would be more effective than anything at "breaking the ice".

Looks to be about 50-50 to 60-40 from my limited experience.

I would say that if you wanted to research monetary theory, your laboratory was just expanded, thanks to Uncle Same.

Apparently it's like 360 per year and it covers fees like for the free bus rides, gym, etcetra.

Ah, I see. I thought there was a time constraint, i.e., applying for the fall of next year. My point was that she/he is probably going to want proof via a grade on a transcript for taking probability prior to applying.

Don't you think he/she's going to need probability theory?

Beat me to it...Real Analysis and Probability Theory seem like a better overall combination to me, taking limitations, time, probable speed of the material and importance of the material into consideration.

I think I'm going to be looking for something on campus. I'll be there tomorrow to see about straightening out my housing situation.

I have officially accepted U.C. Santa Cruz's offer and will be attending in the fall. I'll be on campus visiting and getting my housing straightened out this Wednesday. I didn't think it would be this much of a relief to finally know where I'll be attending, but I am telling you it is like a ton of brix off my back!

Concert Pianist! ...which I still plan on doing, anyways!
