[求助]本人不是数学系出生的，是不是就意味着进一步学习经济学有很大困难

好像Woodford是学法律出身的,Lucas是学历史出身的.

芝加哥学派的经济学家ms数学都很牛

出身的确不重要，不过学好数学的确是要潜质的

非常感谢各位对小弟的提点 很受启发

我是学计算机的

[em01]数学只是工具和另外一个思维的角度，经济学的研究对象由人构成，人的行为不是数学可以描述的。老一代的大牛们有几个数学很好呢？

曼昆的建议

In response to my previous post offering advice to aspiring economists, a student emails me:

Since the time allocation is limited, I can take only some math courses and the problem is that I am not sure which courses are most important for a successful economist and which course I should take first. Can you possibly suggest for me a list of math courses that a typical economics student should take step by step?

Here is one plan of action:

Calculus
Linear Algebra
Multivariable Calculus
Real Analysis
Probability Theory
Mathematical Statistics
Game Theory
Differential Equations

There is, of course, some flexibility about the order of courses. Check the prerequisites at your school to figure out the right sequencing.

Let me also recommend a book if you need a crash course for catch up or review: Mathematics for Economists by Carl P. Simon and Lawrence Blume.

数学是工具，一个理解经济学和加以量化的工具

承认现实

如果坚持

努力走下去

引用一句话，数学对于学习经济学不是万能的，但没有数学，对于学习经济学则是万万不能的。

不是。
