tm_member Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 For newbies to the forum, the below (from Chevrox) should help with understanding the math requirements versus what is extraneous but a great signal. "Well this is what I've gathered from reading posts on this forum (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong): Minimum Requirement: Differential and Integral Calculus, Linear Algebra, Intro Statistics. Recommended: Multivariate Calculus, Ordinary Differential Equations, Real Analysis, Probability Theory Sets you above the pack: Mathematical Statistics, Abstract Algebra, Topology, Partial Differential Equations Fancy but not helpful: Complex Analysis, Discrete Math, Number Theory" Note that Chevrox is not wrong.

applicant12 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 if you apply to schools in English-speaking countries, all credentials (transcripts, LORs, etc.) must be translated into English. Here's a thread with the discussion on the translation of documents http://www.www.urch.com/forums/phd-economics/138451-translation-lor.html Here Office of International Services | International Admissions | Translation Services is a webpage I found from Maryland's Office of International Services. They suggest a few translation services that they accept. This may be useful for translation purposes Also a link to Real Analysis video lectures using Baby Rudin http://www.www.urch.com/forums/phd-economics/137227-real-analysis-video-lectures.html#post885201 and other math resources. Hope this helps guys. Good luck on applications :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
