Thank you for the responses, I really appreciate the help. Unfortunately, switching to engineering as my first degree is not an option as it would require I transfer colleges within NYU and probably delay graduation by 2 years. I have nothing against graduating late, but I would rather do...

I'm currently an undergraduate (Junior) math major at NYU. I decided to study math for the challenge, and so far, I have loved it. It's been fascinating and satisfying. Having said that, I'm currently at a crossroads. I have absolutely no idea what to do. Let me elaborate; I'm not sure...

I reserve judgement on entirely proof based courses, due to lack of experience. I'll try to make sure I don't bite off more than I can chew so I'll start slowly and carefully. Who knows, maybe they'll end up being my favorite. From what I've gathered so far, differential equations courses...

I appreciate that you actually apologized, and you certainly mention some important points. Having said that, there still seems to be an issue of miscommunication here. Take for example, what you just said about differential eq. The presence of rigor would not dissuade me from taking it. I'm...

It's a class I'm really interested in taking but the issue is the pre-requisite of Physics III. I did the General Physics I-II sequence as a freshman, I had no idea what I wanted to study and I was getting my Science requirement out of the way. Unfortunately, they're not very big on letting...

NYU does seen to have been a godsend decision for a whimsical mathematician like myself. Finance is something I've considered but I'm not sure it's something I want to commit to. It also carries the logistical difficulty of transferring in between colleges and fulfilling degree requirements...

A very good question, one which I don't really have a complete answer for. I enjoy the abstract thinking. I even enjoy the proofs most of the time. I think my issue arises at the thought of an entirely proof based course. I enjoy a mix of computational problems and proofs. Moreover, my...

I have evidently not expressed myself well so ill say this now: I don't love proofs but I can do them and I can appreciate them and their necessity. I would like to get a good mix of pure and applied. As most of my requirements are pure courses, I am looking to find a nice mix of applied...

Didn't expect that kind of a response, don't really see how that is helpful in the slightest. Apart from the incredibly rude, and quite inaccurate ultimatum, you should consider actually reading my post. If you don't want to read, stay out of the forums. Just my opinion. Now that I'm...

Didn't meant to use rigor to indicate difficulty, I meant it quite literally (to the best of my knowledge, in mathematics, rigor implies proofs and proof writing). Which courses require the least amounts of proof-writing, not which are the easiest conceptually. I agree to a certain extent...

I'm a sophomore at NYU, currently wrapping up the Calculus sequence this semester and Linear Algebra. I'll be taking Analysis next semester and Abstract Algebra (Called Algebra I) in the spring. Those are, I assume, very rigorous. I'm looking to balance them out with less rigorous courses...
