The Applied Mathematics-Economics concentration is designed to reflect the mathematical and statistical nature of modern economic theory and empirical research. If you are interested in declaring a concentration in Applied Mathematics-Economics, please refer to this page for more information regarding the process.

Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts

1 : Students can also use APMA 1650 but must also complete the APMA 1655 online bridgework course, pass the in-person bridgework exam that is offered once per semester, and have taken multivariable calculus and linear algebra

2 : Or ECON 1110 with permission. For students matriculating at Brown in Fall 2021 or later, note that if ECON 1110 is used, then one additional course from the mathematical-economics group will be required

3 : No course may be used to simultaneously satisfy the "mathematical economics," and "data methods" requirements.

4 : Note that ECON 1620, ECON 1960, and ECON 1970 (independent study) cannot be used for concentration credit.  However, 1620 and 1960 can be used for university credit and up to two 1970s may be used for university credit.

Honors

Applied Math-Economics concentrators who wish to pursue honors must find a primary faculty thesis advisor in either Economics or Applied Math. They will be held to the Honors requirements of their advisor’s department. Joint concentrators in Applied Mathematics-Economics with an Economics thesis advisor should follow the requirements published here, while concentrators with an Applied Math thesis advisor should follow the requirements published here.

Requirements for the Bachelor of Science

1 : Students can also use APMA 1650 but must also complete the APMA 1655 online bridgework course, pass the in-person bridgework exam that is offered once per semester, and have taken multivariable calculus and linear algebra.

2 : Or ECON 1110 with permission. For students matriculating at Brown in Fall 2021 or later, note that if ECON 1110 is used, then one additional course from the mathematical-economics group will be required

3 : No course may be used to simultaneously satisfy the "mathematical economics" and "data methods" requirements.

4 : Students may apply, at most, one Economics course whose number is in the range of 1000 to 1099 toward the concentration. Note that ECON 1620, ECON 1960, and ECON 1970 (independent study) cannot be used for concentration credit.  However, 1620 and 1960 can be used for university credit and up to two 1970s may be used for university credit.
