Math dilemma
Basically,
I plan on minoring in math.
I need to start taking courses this summer/next year.
I am majoring in Honours economics and finishing up my second year with no math courses done so far except gr 12 calc/vect.
I am planning on taking math 2x03 as soon as possible,
but I have a question you guys.
I checked the math department and last summer they only offered math 1a03 and 1aa3 in the summer. Do you think they'll offer 1x03 and 1xx3 this summer?
I wanna take the 1x03/1xx3 instead of the life science version because I am planning on applying to graduate school and need math courses that also focus on theories.
Now that being said, math 2x03 requires either 2aa3 OR 2xx3... therefore if 1a03 and 1aa3 are the only courses offered in the summer and not the math versions of them, should I just take them or wait to take 1x03 and 1xx3 in 3rd year (1st and 2nd term) and take 2x03 the spring before 4th year.
How much of a disadvantage would I be in taking 1aa3 prior to 2x03 instead of taking 1xx3? That's the only question that bothers me, since I want to be as prepared as possible for higher level math and math is all about a solid foundation.
For 3rd year, I can't seem to think of any courses that require 1x03 and 1xx3 urgently, so it wouldn't make a difference if I took them next year instead of the summer if they're not offered.
Sorry for the ramble, I just wanna make the right decision and have a solid math foundation for grad school in economics.
Any advice is appreciated,
Thanks.
Edit:
Also on another note, I also need to take Stats 1L03 and Econ 2B03 prior to Econometrics 3u03. I plan on taking Econometrics I 2nd term of next year, so that i can get stats 1L03 and econ 2b03 done in summer school/first term of next year.
