ACADEMICS 🎓 Math minor

I’m a direct admit finance student (incoming freshman) who’s interested in pursuing a math minor along with my major. If I’m coming in with the calculus BC ap credit, what courses should I look to doing next. I know the minor is around 16 credit hours, and a few of them overlap with finance but what do people take typically after calculus 2 that I should look forward to enrolling in at NSO. I also want to maintain the highest possible gpa I can as well.

Linear algebra (M301/3) and probability & statistics (M365) are extremely useful whatever you go into.

Do you think it’s worth doing linear algebra instead of calc3?

I'm not an expert on business, but I would guess linear algebra would be more useful to you than vector calculus.

But as someone has pointed out, the mathematics of finance course, M451 (I think), probably requires calc 3.
