hm..well I didn't know that Macro needs dynamic programming..Thx alot!!

Thx, although I'd probably choose Micro since it carries more weight.

OK then, thx!

Thx chateau! !

Hm..Thx! I also talked to my professor and he told me the same thing. I'll just take the Micro then:)

@sevet Thx! I guess it would be an intensive one..after all it's an upper math-_-

Hi Insti, Thx for ur reply:) Here is a course description I found from our course schedule. Do u think it's what you're saying? "Fundamentals of optimization. Linear programming: basic solutions, simplex method, duality theory. Unconstrained optimization, Newton's method for minimization. Nonlinear programming, optimality conditions for constrained problems. Additional topics from linear and nonlinear programming."

the reply above is to chateau btw:)

I'm not sure if the optimizations I learned in Calculus counts. I mean, all I can remember now is just some really basic ones like the first order condition, second order condition, etc..-_-

Thx 14! I thought my profile would be bad without those Math courses. So glad I had asked here.

Hi:) For grad Econ, I mean the sequence "grad probability for Econometrics", "Intro to Metrics I", "Intro to Metrics II", and the sequence on Micro. For undergrad upper math, I mean courses like "upper ODE","Mathematical modelings","Optimization", "Numerical Analysis I&II" and "Complex Analysis". Which ones are of the highest values to the admission committee? Thanks~!

Hi guys, Do you think undergraduate Numerical Analysis is useful for Econ PhD? What if my interest is in the financial area then? Thanks in advance:)

Well, I'm glad to learn that:) thx man

Hi guys, I'm aiming for top 20 Econ PhD programs, do you think if my GRE is high enough or not? What about Top 10 then? GRE: Verbal 162, Quant 169, AW 4.5 Below are part of my profile: Type of Undergrad: West Coast Flagship U, US National top 20, Econ top 15 Undergrad GPA:3.95 Math Courses: Differential and Integral Calculus(AP transfer), Integration and Infinite Series (A), Calculus of Several Variables(A), Linear Algebra and Applications(A), Differential Equations(A), Calculus of Several Variables(A), Introduction to Discrete Structures(A+), Linear Algebra(A+), Analysis(A), Probability Theory(A+), Analysis(A) Econ Courses:Principles of Economics(A) Principles of Economics(A), Microeconomic Theory(A+), Statistics for Economists(A+), Microeconomic Theory(A+), Macroeconomic Theory(A+), International Trade Theory(A+), Introduction to Econometrics(B) Stats Courses: Introduction to Statistical Reasoning(A), Introduction to Mathematical Statistics(A), Linear Models(A) Thx everybody!:)

hahaha, well that's kind of funny.
