My top 20 school had us take 4 semesters of calculus and 2 other math department classes for a cs degree. The econ major only required one semester of calculus. The upper level micro classes ended up being funny because they spent a considerable amount of time teaching multivariable calculus since taking derivatives is 90% of microeconomics. They even spent multiple classes proving lagrange multipliers without ever referring to them by name.
- alistairSH 4y agoThat micro comment sounds about right - my degree didn’t require many specific courses in the math department, but we did plenty of math as part of the program, it was just tailored to the specific thing we were trying to do.
