I understand that, and that it’s from your personal experience so I’m definitely not trying to minimise or invalidate your experience.
However I feel obligated to ask if that was a business econ or scientific economics course. My Macro 1 and Micro 1 courses were brutal in the first year. The math was not easy. So much so that about 20% only passed the first year macro 1 course, we had to start a petition to adjust people’s grades because of how brutal that pass rate had been…
I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m saying you might be thinking of a different discipline.
Business Econ is a joke, it is where people go if they want managerial skills and to enter the rat race. Econ as a science is all about policymaking, behavioural economics empirical studies, data science methods, econometrics, maximisation and minimisation… Even linear algebra was included.
It was as a science, but I think it’s probably a difference in perspective. I studied maths so saying linear algebra as the most difficult part kinda proves my point in my mind.
I’ve seen first year Econ questions, it was such basic maths I genuinely thought it was fake

Okay. That’s slightly skewed for sure…
Undergrad Econ is a bit of a joke.
Post graduate Econ is considered one of the hardest degrees, and used to have one of the highest salaries upon graduation.
Those cancerous recommendation algorithms that are the result of optimising millions of live A/B tests? Designed and constructed by Econ PhDs.
