I was fine doing undergrad calculus, linear algebra etc. However, masters level stochastic calculus and differential equations just got too much for me. That’s when I abandoned any thoughts of being a quant. Plus my programming skills weren’t up to scratch either.
@ CFABLACKBELT Multivariable Calculus is extremely useful for creating economic models and although it has been replaced by more complex Econometric models, understanding the theory is incredibly valuable. I also agree with Carson…stochastic calculus, DE’s and Partial DE’s is what separates the men from the boys as you work your way through Quant and it’s where I lost interest as well.
^Thanks. I decided to sign up for calc 3 at a different college. The book is so much better at explaining whats going on.
I would recommend Calculus by James Stewart if you need an extra reference…I have about 5-6 Calculus books on my shelf and this is by far the most comprehensive and easy to use book I have come across. If you have any questions with any of the material…shoot them my way

hey CFABB thanks for the information. I’m wrapping up Calc 2 at UC Berk Extension and looking to move on to Calc 3. If netmath stinks, what would be your second choice?
