he started screaming at me saying “my leg! my leg!” over and over

so i stood over and him and said “why are you whining? i didnt shoot your heart?”

This is basically the same as this semester! Organic chemistry, a lab, 2 math courses, and a mickey mouse clubhouse class

…dunno why I only have 14 credits this semester tho

Abstract algebra - very fun course. also possibly kinda a new perspective on math, depending on how you currently see it. Mainly in that operators and numbers are generalized very heavily

Number theory - nyaaaaa I haven’t taken it and it’s maybe interesting; it’s about solving equations where you only care about integer solutions
you could look into it a bit and see if you like it

Computability and logic - haven’t taken it; the computability part is something I’ve wanted to know better for a while though (most likely that part will teach you about problems that computers provably can’t solve, and if they go in depth they might prove a bunch of them). The logic part is IDK. if it’s formal logic it will be boring

Foundations of analysis - idk what that is

Linear Algebra - Can be really important in computing, can also be totally irrelevant. Depends on what you do. Decent class and very cohesive (sometimes feels slightly fake because you go “hey here are all these different problems. oh wait they’re actually all the same thing and solved the same way” for a lot of the course)

Into to complex variables - I have no experience with it and IDK how advanced the course is

Partial Diff EQ - I’m currently in Ordinary Diff EQ and it’s fun; haven’t gotten to partial but it sounds fun tbthbthtbhtb

Advanced calculus - IDK what they’re actually teaching in this tbhthtbhtbhtb (though IIRC you said you were currently taking it?)

Numerical computing - probably more practical class, will be focused on getting numerical approximations instead of exact solutions; not taken any numerical approximation courses myself

Numerical linear algebra applications - uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh probably like above with linear algebra

…wait no I’m taking 17. I thought it was 14 for some reason?

I always wondered how that math worked out given I’m tkaing 2 credits of lab + 4 classes and I know they’re not all 3 credit courses. That explains it!

You’ve really tepmted me to take abstract algebra but it conflicts wit hmy lab. Cries forever

if you’re taking these courses primarily for enjoyment I’d definitely do Abstract Algebra (it will very likely be proofs-based btw)

this isn’t an entirely accurate description? maybe it is for yours. but mine was very much a topics class in many things to do with the naturals and integers. we had diophantine equations but also a bunch of other stuff

Abstract algebra also apparently useful for chemistry b/c group theory is good for inorganic

nyaaaaaaaaaa I haven’t taken it so lol this is just what I heard about it

When in doubt May University is going to lean toward applied math for engineers and computer sciences and other such. I almost called htem someting unsavory I’m not saying that

group theory has so many new terms for this thread

PDEs is not that much like ODEs because most of them are not generally solvable. if it’s anything like mine you’ll spend a few weeks on the wave equation and then a few weeks on the heat equation and then just like. do some more general stuff to try to get over the fact that there aren’t really any general solutions ever

i was also super super lost in that course. in part because my ODEs course sucked but in part because i was not paying as much attention as i should’ve been. it’s a hard course!

nyaaaaaaaaaaaa hey what do you think about Langrange’s theorem and cosets and groups and abelian groups and normal subgroups and homomorphisms and isomorphisms and rings and fields and
