How would you rate the difficulty level of mathematics in MA economics?

The level of difficulty in MA Economics is actually depends upon you. If you didn't have studied maths at 12th level or if you don't shows interest in mathematics then it would be very much difficulty for you (Difficulty level can be 09/10). Because maths is the essence part of economics. Without the knowledge of maths, you won't be able to find the 'Time Value of Money', Bond and Stock valuation, Price determination under different forms of market, Managerial Economics. All these requires higher level knowledge of calculus, algebra and probability. The concepts of differentiation and integration helps you to formulate the policies by knowing the maxima and minima. If you are from non-maths background, then I will recommend you take tuitions of advance maths for your better performance during college. Otherwise it will be very difficult for you. I hope this helps. Best of luck.

It’s not that difficult. Just you need to work on the Calculus Basics and have a thorough knowledge of it. Once you’re good in Differentiation, Integration and other aspects of calculus, the applied mathematics in Economics becomes easier for you to understand. Addition to it, you should’ve better knowledge of the notations. In Economic Models, understanding of differentiation will help you to derive the models and how it built. In time path and capital stock calculation, knowledge of integration will help you to come up with a solution. Overall, the calculus has a major role in learning and understanding the applied mathematics in economics.

I would rate the 9 on 10 for the difficulty level of mathematics. If you're not going there out of your interest to study the subject, you're probably better off doing something else. The curriculum is hard by most standards, whether or not you are comfortable with abstract Mathematics. If on top of that you have no interest in studying Economics, you will find it tough going. Now if you do enjoy studying Economics, you do not need to think about survival. Just work hard and enjoy the ride. With your academic background, you already have a good platform. Best of luck!
