    Abstract linear algebra versus applied

    oh man you're preaching to the choir! I bought a copy of Visual Complex Analysis and can't put it down... sooooo cool!

    Abstract linear algebra versus applied

    again, another great comment. Thank you all who have commented. Looks like I'm going to take it my last semester as an undergrad (along with grad abstract algebra and undergrad complex analysis ugh..)

    Abstract linear algebra versus applied

    Jin8- That is funny. Rick is my best friend! n!kofeyn-so where should I fit it into my schedule? I mean what types of courses should it precede? I plan on taking a differential geometry course and a differentiable manifold's course in grad school. I guess I should take it before then. Would it...

    Was honors lin alg 416? I know that Ando taught that. Was Rick Barber in your class?

    Abstract linear algebra versus applied

    I have taken applied linear algebra http://courses.illinois.edu/cis/2009/fall/schedule/MATH/415.html?skinId=2169" and didn't learn anything really since i never went to class (yeah yeah yeah I know). I am taking intro to abstract algebra 1 and 2 this year. My friend took the abstract version...

    Real analysis before set theory?

    my situation is unique really... I completed 4 semesters worth of credits at a community college prior to entering uiuc. I am the age of and have attended school the equivalent time of, a sophomore entering as a junior. However, credit-wise I am a junior entering as a senior. When I graduate, I...

    Real analysis before set theory?

    N!kofeyn- Thank you for that very constructive comment. I am a bit more at ease now :) we are using the book by Ross called introduction to real analysis. Jin8-I am a senior in the math department used to be a phys-math double major, but doing physics as a major burnt me out really quick and...

    Real analysis before set theory?

    Do you go to UIUC Jin? I took 348 with George Francis. He wasn't that great of a prof. There was no structure to the class and it seems like they just lumped the transfer students in there. We didn't even use D'Angelo West text.

    Real analysis before set theory?

    Yeah, I know how to mathematical proof with quantifiers, implications, negations, and all that stuff but I don't know I guess I'm just worried.. I don't know infinite set theory or deeper set theory or basic topology of metric spaces.

    Real analysis before set theory?

    But doesn't real analysis heavily use metric spaces? And what kind of counting do I need to study? What website/book can I look at?

    Real analysis before set theory?

    Hey guys I signed up for a "set theory and topology" class for the fall and was planning on taking real analysis in the spring. Set theory got canceled and so i am taking real analysis instead and pushing set theory to the spring. Is this a wise idea? Taking real analysis before a formal set...

    Is the Velocity of Light Truly Constant Regardless of Your Motion?

    a constant velocity whether or not you are traveling toward the source, or away from the source?

    Relative Moving Charge: Electric vs Magnetic Field

    So what is the answer to "if I am moving at velocity v with respect to a single charge, charge q, will I see the electric field as I would at rest with respect to the charge, or will I see a magnetic field? what will be the strength of the magnetic field?"
