大家对JHU推荐的UIUC的NetMath怎么看啊？

我看jhu推荐数学背景不够的同学可以去上uiuc的网课，里面也有实分析之类的，有人上过吗？

不明白大家为啥要学那么多数学，10个PhD里面有一个人做理论就足够了。

1. rigorous proof-based course 在econ phd申請時是其中一個singal
real analysis可以說昰在calculus i-iii, linear algebra之後最常見的數學課之一, 要是這也叫"那么多数学", 可能可以省下一堆申請費(不太用申top的)

引用一下stanford的講法: "A large fraction of applicants demonstrate their skills in math by taking a non-introductory course in real analysis and receiving a high mark. "

如果說stanford太高了, 那不如看看UCLA的: "Mathematical preparation is also essential. This should include a minimum of one year of Probability and Statistics and two years of Calculus. Additional coursework in mathematics and Statistics, especially Linear Algebra, Matrix Algebra, Advanced Probability Theory, Mathematical Statistics and Real Analysis, is highly recommended."

2. 當然不是所有economics的subfield都要很多的數學, 但是估計大多數的學生都是想一開始能保留選擇, 不會想早早被自己背景限制而不能選上自己感興趣的方向. (e.g. 只能去做某些applied economics.)
