Where I went, there were only two required math courses, one was basic calculus and the other was random. While you don't need to know much beyond addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (and even then we have computers and calculators to do most of the actual work), the ability to understand how the numbers in the income statement or balance sheet relate to each other is very important. In short, math itself is not that important, but understanding the relationships between different elements is.

That's for the basic economics class you need to take. The calculus is applied to the total revenue, total cost, minimum cost, minimum revenue, marginal cost, marginal revenue, etc. You have to know the basic (very little) calculus (basically, 1st yr calculus).
