11111st poster gets a cookie (cookie thread (Part 7)) (Part 10)

There is a silly amount of smart people at my college too! (This contributes to me being a mid math major but it is fine)

Right I’ve heard that to be a problem at bigger schools
I know a lot of physics professors at my place virtually stop doing research during the semester

It’s crazy like. Where did they come from. When did everyone suddenly read the picture of Dorian gray

Total shot in the dark is like 500-600 students graduating. Less than 10 physics majors my year

What math have you taken up to?

I just finished my second year

I have taken abstract algebra, analysis, stochastic processes, set theory etc

I have like 2 more classes after next sem to complete math major i think

I took cryptography last semester and liked it a lkt

Wbu? What math/physics courses have you taken

Were the same year but you’re way ahead
I’ve only taken up to linear algebra 1 in math and I’ve taken stat mech/thermo & electronics lab in physics, as well as having done some research work in cosmology
Being a liberal arts school with so few physics majors classes get cancelled a lot or not offered so there’s not really options to go faster than the pace they set

That’s really impressive and also kinda nuts. How was abstract algebra? I’m thinking of taking that in the spring

Ooh cosmology research sounds so cool!

Man, the classes getting canceled sucks- how many people need to sign up for a class not to get canceled?

Abstract algebra was really fun- it is probably the class that helped develop my proof writing skills the most, and the concepts covered in the course were extremely interesting

I highly recommend

Cosmology is actually kinda sick as hell ngl although the day to day is just coding it’s worth it to be able to ramble about to any victim in a five mile radius when I free myself from sobriety

There’s no magic number to cancelling classes; there was a 4 person class last semester because someone needed it to graduate. But next semester three students are going abroad and three classes got cut. A given semester does not necessarily have any electives. But I was in a five person class last semester and it was a kinda fun, we could lobby the teacher to touch on different topics and we could take the final basically any day during finals week.

I think I heard abstract algebra might be good for law school because it reinforces arguing logic or something so I may follow through on that in the spring.

I’m going to sleep now because I gotta wake up early tomorrow (meaning before 2pm) so gn gummy

Sounds good! You should talk to me more about what cosmology research entails- i am interested in hearing about it.

Goodnight tbe! Sleep well:)
