    Courses Math Graduate Course vs. Stronger Foundations

    Most of the people who I know that took 250A without 114 took H113 so you might be a bit behind. I've finished my requirements for the math degree and I had quite a bit of trouble when I was enrolled in 218A because the prereqs were severely understated and the pace was extremely quick which...

    Courses Math Graduate Course vs. Stronger Foundations

    Why not register for 114 and 250A and then dropping one based on how comfortable you feel with 250A? Also, did you take 113 or H113?

    Schools What College are you attending?

    berkeley is a great school. the professors are really enthusiastic about the material and really go out of their way to help the undergrads. Also, i enjoy the flexibility of the applied math major since it allows you to pick a concentration for the type of applied math you want to do.

    Transfer from Calstate to a UC

    Coming from a CSU, your priority would be rather low because community college and intercampus UC transfers would have priority over you. Keep your gpa as high as possible and hope for the best. I used to goto UCSB but i decided to transfer to a community college so i could get higher transfer...

    Confused about separation of variables for PDE

    So my book says that to solve a PDE by separation of variables, we check the three cases where λ, the separation constant, is equal to 0, -a^2, and a^2. But in this particular problem, instead of substituting λ=0, λ = a^2, λ= -a^2, they substitute the entire coefficient of X, (λ-1)/k =0, (λ-1)/k...
