Why is Math for Economists “frontloaded” in fall of year one?
Both the micro and macro theory courses start using various math techniques very early in the course. You are probably already familiar with some of these techniques, although it is likely that you don’t remember them as well as you wish you did; it is also likely that you have never encountered some of the math techniques at all. It is important that everyone in the first-year class be comfortable with all the math techniques which will be encountered before they come up in the theory courses. That’s why the early weeks of fall semester contain disproportionately many meetings of math for economists, while micro and macro have only a few meetings in the early weeks.
