Thanks for the suggestions. I'm trying to learn differential forms in preparation for a differential topology class that uses Pollack. I think I'll go with Spivak's Calc on Manifolds.

Maybe this is what you feel about math in general. Have you taken real analysis or abstract algebra?

If your interests are in mathematical logic, then going into philosophy isn't a bad idea at all. Also, your whole plan doesn't make any sense. The entire undergraduate math curricula can't be digested in one or two years. Seeing that you don't even know math at the level of a typical first...

An additional year of study is not sufficient to make up for your mathematical deficiencies. You need to start over again (i.e. spend four years studying math), if you want to apply to math programs. I really suggest you stick with philosophy.

Can someone recommend a good textbook for learning differential forms for someone with an understanding of calculus at the level of Spivak? Thanks.

must be open.

The preimage of V has to be either X or the empty set.

Finished taking courses in an econ phd program? Take it to the next level...take some sociology courses.

I'm wondering whether I could take graduate level complex analysis this spring. I planned on taking complex variables (undergraduate course), but unfortunately it conflicts with another course I want to take. I'm currently taking basic real analysis (not at the level of Rudin), point-set...

I don't think your electives matter too much in the 9th grade; heck take basket weaving.

Urch Forums is a great resource for advice on preparation for graduate studies in economics or finance. I've been told the strongest signal, course wise, for ad coms is getting an A in real analysis (undergrad and grad if possible). So if you haven't already, I'd take analysis...

Unless you have some important lecture tomorrow in advanced calc, you might want to come to analysis and see what it's like.

So I need to decide by tomorrow, whether I'll be taking topology or diff geo, (along with real analysis and advanced linear algebra). I've sat in on both classes for the first lecture, and I'm still not certain which class would be more difficult. My diff geo class has no exams, and instead...

Taking Diff. Geo, Ahsan? I just checked the syllabus. Grading is: 75% problem sets 25% presentation and short paper This should be fun!

First off, you don't "need" a life in physics. I can see that you want one, but studying physics won't be anything like watching science channel documentaries. And your math skills at the point are abysmal. Can you at least solve this equation? 5x + 3 + 2x = 31
