I will be attending Western in the fall and I'm majoring in Economics. I have NOT taken Calclus and Vectors in highschool so what math courses do I need to take to declare a major for second year. Please help as I don't know what to do. What math courses should I take?

Thank you!

Calculus 1000/1100 A/B
Mathematics 1225
Mathematics 1229

For Economics major, you will need to have calculus. And Calculus 1000 is a lot similar to high school calculus course.
Mathematics 1225 is similar to Calculus 1000, it's a bird course
But i will suggest calculus 1330 (don't remember the exact course code lol), it's obviously tougher, but will be easier for you later on in economics classes

those are just my recommendations. you need calc 1000 in first semester for sure. while you are taking that, you should go to academic counsellor for more detailed information and more professional suggestions

You can't take Calc 1000 first semester unless you took calculus in high school. You can take Calc 1100 and then take 1301 after that, though.

Nitrous, I recommend you check the requirements for your economics specialization because some specializations require more intense calculus. I think if you don't go into honours economics, you don't need to take those difficult math courses though. On the other hand, I believe you need to be in honours to be eligible for the double degree with Ivey if that's what fancies you.

Here's the academic calendar for 2012 for calculus:

Good luck.
