Good class, you'll learn a lot. Material is really difficult but there is a generous curve at the end. Go to class, pay attention, do the reading if you do'nt understand the material and you'll be fine.

If you have a sound mathematical background and want to be in a competitive group of people interested in economics, this may be a very good class for you. Talk to Mr. Engers and take the aptitude test. Give it a shot. You will learn so much about microeconomics in this course and Mr. Engers is so interesting. Especially talk to him after class about your general interests in subject so of economics.

While the only mathematical knowledge that is strictly necessary to succeed in this class is Calc I ability to take basic derivatives, a knowledge of Calc III multivariate calculus will make you much more comfortable with Enger's lectures and some of the material. It is a difficult class, but if you devote time to it, it will be rewarding in terms of a greater bredth and depth of knowledge.

Prof. Engers is wonderful! Skip 301 and learn some real microeconomics; you'll be better off in upper-level electives. Engers makes you work, though, so be prepared. Tests can be very hard, but the curve isn't bad at all. This class is not really very mathematical either, despite the title; basic differential calculus is all you need. Highly recommended!

Rough, rough class, but I learned an immense amount of information! I preferred the mathematical foundation as opposed to the 301 conceptual focus. I would recommend this class if you have a strong math background and prefer math over concepts.

One of the more difficult economics classes, it is very difficult to do well on any of the exams, but effort is rewarded by a generous curve at the end of the course. Here you will learn what you need to know about microeconomics.
