Wagner's core courses in Microeconomics, Statistics and Financial Management require knowledge of basic math skills. Your core course instructors will not spend time reviewing these math skills in class—it is assumed that you understand them before you take the class. If you have not had math for some time, you may need to brush up on your skills in preparation for the core coursework.

These references are universally recognized as acceptable by scholars and very adequately demonstrate how students should handle the issue of proper citation of material. All are available at the NYU Library or NYU Bookstores.
