Hello forum
Senior UG at an east coast LAC with dual econ/math, staying 5th year to take more math classes (applying 2011). Going to do year long independent study with 2 professors in the econ dept that I know quite well. Topic will be grad micro because I think I will go into theoretical micro in grad school.
My question is as follows, should I do one semester of adult Varian then transition to Mas-Colell or just do M.C. for both semesters. My professors tell me M.C. assumes you know Varian so I plan on getting both books to see where I am at. I think my math skills are decent considering I have taken:
RA I
abstract algebra
calc sequence
LA
ODE
other standard math major cores..
Planning on taking along side this independent study:
topology
RA II
abstract algebra II
adv LA
PDE
numerical methods
graph theory
Thanks for your time, and of course appreciate any feedback :)
