The physics class in math methods already has differential equations covered in length, with direct applications to the field. I'm thinking the reason my program doesn't require a separate class in Diff Eq is due to this class covering the subject directly. Would it be good to go more in-depth...

Hello, PhysicsForums members! I made a previous thread on this forum entitled "From Music to Math", and I have decided after being in a "Physics Education" track for half a semester, I have decided I am going to pursue a BS in Physics. I am actually a Sophomore by year; so, since I studied...

I have decided to do the Physics Education track, and will take all of the undergraduate level physics courses that USF offers. Besides finishing the Calculus track to Calculus III, what other math courses (let's go with a maximum of 4) would you deem useful to a Physics major? Just like a top 4...

The purpose of the education classes to build the necessary pedagogy and classroom management techniques that you really need. Since USF requires a significant amount of upper-level courses, I will utilize this requirement to take more of the pure mathematics classes as well as the advanced...

I know I love teaching due to practical experience. I have served as a music and primary school tutor in the past, and did multiple professional teaching observations as a Music Education major, which was the Music degree I was pursuing previously with a brief time doing Music Performance. I...

I just wanted to clarify that teaching has always been my primary goal in life, and I felt that I was ignoring my innate passions and abilities in mathematics and the sciences, which inspired the switch. I'm reviewing Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus right now, and will soon start going over the...

Hello Physics Forums- My name is Tyler Cutts, and I am a student at the University of South Florida. After some serious career and college thought, I have decided to change my major to Mathematics Education, which covers almost all of the content a Math major would take, as well as a...
