What involves harder mathematics in college, Accountancy, Business Administration, or Economics?

I'm a senior student, and I find it really hard to choose my college career. Can you please suggest other courses related to those mentioned above. Your answers are highly appreciated. Thank you :)

1. hi,if basics are mathematics then it is easy otherwise difficult to learn from basics.if you show interest in accounts it is easy.economics is very vast subject.business administration is also vast but easy to understand.if iam wrong sorry
2. It depends on the college and what the major requirements are, but you will need to look up majors and major requirements. Sometimes, these majors above may have the same math requirements, if they are offered at the same university, so it just depends. If you mean math overall, then I do know that Economics uses a lot of calculus in its courses. I am graduating with as an Economics major, and many of the courses I took required me to know basic calculus, and know how to do graphs. I'm not so sure about Accountancy or Business Administration, since my college didn't offer those as majors, but if you want to go into business, go for one of those majors. If Business Administration or Accountancy was offered at my college, I would have majored in those instead. I know people who majored in Business Administration, and I don't think they had to take any courses in calculus, but that was also at a Cal State University, so it's a level less than my college, which is part of the UC System, which is more expensive and reputable. So it depends on the college and major course requirements. Good luck!
3. Of the three subjects you mentioned, I believe Economics uses the most difficult mathematics. There are all sorts of complicated calculations, formulas, statistics and graphs that are used in economics. In Bus Admin, there is math but on a smaller scale and accounting, though difficult in its own right, really only uses basic math (addition, subtraction, multiplication).
