Hello,
My younger brother has just gained admission into a private university to study Economics. He had originally intended on studying Mass Comm, even went as far as acquiring a diploma in it. He was allowed to transfer schools and he is seriously considering Economics because he says he's very good when it comes to financial and monetary topics.
However, he's not very strong in math. That's the one thing that continously worries him and he's very tempted to back out and just settle for English. I'm trying to inquire and ask if getting a bacherlor's In Economics would be attainable despite his poor mathematical foundation?
He's very studious, intelligent and works hard. Please give me advice so I can console my brother. And if it is attainable, what advice would you give to him as an Economics student? Please and thank you.

from year 1-4 we did maths. in short all our courses are maths related. if he can buckly up in maths, fine. if not; na 3rd class oh.

I'm no economics student but I think maths is crucial For him to come out succesful.

What topics in math would you suggest he starts reading before he resumes so he can start working towards them? Thanks so much for your reply.

cant recall much doe but:
advanced differientiation and integration, linear/quadratic equation,
regression analysis, permutation n combination etc statistic *mean,
median, mode, etc* is gonna be a core course, from yr 1-4.
let him just try n be very good in maths sha. * notin to fear if he's a
smart lad.
