The [Applied Math/Economics](https://www.seas.harvard.edu/applied-mathematics/undergraduate-program/concentration-information/am-economics) (AM/Ec) "marriage" is a rational one. Mathematical modeling is used extensively in economics, and the foundation of economic theory is formed on a mathematical basis.

The Applied Math/Economics requirements include five Economics classes:

- ECON 1010A or ECON 1011A (preferably ECON 1011A)
- ECON 1011B
- One of ECON 1126 or STAT 111
- Two economics classes from [this list](https://www.seas.harvard.edu/programs/applied-mathematics/areas-of-application/am-economics) (if you would like more information on which courses historically counted, please email [econundergrad@fas.harvard.edu](mailto:econupc@fas.harvard.edu))

Ordinarily, Applied Math / Economics does not give concentration credit for the less mathematical classes ECON 1010B or ECON 1123.
