Hello, everyone:
If any of you are interested in studying in the graduate school of the field
of economics or related disciplines, I would like to recommand you some
courses for drilling your techniques.
Basics (helpful for your studying in MA):
1. Programming ability like C++
A familiarity of a computer program helps you master Stata, SAS or Matlab,
for it provides you an understanding of the language of a computer. An
ability to communicate with your PC nowaday becomes indispensable when you
have to do either empirical or theoretical research (e.g., calibration in
macro.) in any field.
2. Linear algebra/ Ordinary differential equation and partial differential
equation (ODE & PDE).
The quickest way to learn mathematics may be to learn them from the college
of science, the college of engineering, or the college of electronic
engineering and information. For example, a sequence of engineering
mathematics divided by three semesters includes: linear algebra for one, ODE
and PDE for another, and complex function theory for the other. Though
mathematics wont come as handy as programming, I recommand those for they are
so much fundamental disciplines that you should take them as your general
education like the role played by calculus.
What about learning them from the dept. of math.? Well..., to learn tools
from the dept. of math is a harsh experience for me... For one thing they
used to forcus on how to prove and write down ideas, for the other they
usually give you unacceptable low scores and make you suffer each class. My
opinions are
i) You are good at math. and fully appreciate it, then go ahead!
ii) All you life (and time!) math is the only belief and the only discipline
you would like to know, then go ahead!
iii) You do not just want to know how to (or you hate to) calculate
everything, then go ahead!
Otherwise, for me, a student poor at math., who wants to indulge myself in
different fields and enjoy my life, should always try to learn from
engineering math. first.
3. Advanced statistics or mathematical statistics in the equivalent level.
Students enrolled in S.S. Chen this semester have grapsed some ideas of
advanced statistics. And they are going to study econometrics w/ the same
materials taught in the ecoometric theory I in NTU. Needless to say,
advanced statistics is essential when one is going to have a graduate
study. Not only in preparing the entrance exam but on all fields of
economics will advanced statistics play an important role.
4. Any alternative?
1) As long as you are young and have time to learn, try to challenge yourself
whenever it is possible. You might wish to substitute any math. course
by a full year of mathematical economics. But I should say the truth, and
the truth is whenever you learn math. economics here, you forget it.
2) C/C++ is widely used and can be applied by statistical softwares. Other
computer language is good, if you have your time on it and learn well.
