Hello fellas! First post here. I was wondering on taking these courses, but my time slots are limited. Assuming I would like to concentrate in macro in the future, in order or priority, which ones should I take? Which ones give a better signaling value to admission committees? I was thinking that Time Series might be more useful but always thought that math courses for micro theory give a better signal.

Hi everyone, I am a junior in undergraduate, majoring in math and econ. For this semester, the math courses that I'm taking are abstract algebra and real analysis, and I found both quite interesting - partly because grades are turning out to be good ;) I'm looking for more courses in pure mathematics, as I need to fill the major requirement for math. Foremost of all, I have to finish the abstract algebra and real analysis sequence (both year-long), and I have the following courses in mind... 1) probability theory (generating functions, random walk, markov chain etc) 2) differentiable manifolds (tangent bundle, vector fields, lie groups etc) 3) topology these are what I have in mind. If you can think of some abstract mathmatical concept that is worth knowing (and potentially useful) please tell me! In addition, my advisor told me that taking stat courses could be useful (maybe because she's a time-series econometrician). Do you think a course on stochastic process or time series would be useful? In my opinion, not so much, because I am going to take grad metrics class next year anyways and I think a better way of learning those concepts is to actually try running those regressions (by research projects or reading relevant papers).

Hey guys. So there's a class offered at my school next semester. I don't really know what to make of it. It's called Modern Geometry (prereqs being Multi and LA). I'm not exactly sure what this means, and most importantly whether it has application to econ. Last semester I took DE in the hopes it would apply to econ but we ended up doing a lot of physics-related material. Here is the description given on our website: Geometry of surfaces in 3-dimensional space, including lengths, areas, angles, curvature, and topology. Classification of Euclidean isometries. Classification of compact surfaces having constant Gaussian curvature. What drew me was the mention of 'topology.' My school does not have a topology class so this may be my only chance for that, but it seems like it may just be touched on. What do y'all think - will this class apply to econ?
