AI Thread Summary
Upper-division math courses are available online from various universities, with MIT's OpenCourseWare and Berkeley's Math Course Archive being notable resources. In addition to these courses, users are encouraged to explore authoritative math blogs and articles, such as those by mathematicians Timothy Gowers and Terence Tao, as well as the Scholarpedia for reliable information. While Wikipedia can be useful for keyword searches, it is advised to rely on more credible sources for in-depth study.

Do any of you know of any upperdivision math courses that are offered online at a university?

Thanks!

There's always http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Mathematics/index.htm, another page I check every now and then is the Berkeley's Math Course Archive.

Hope that helps.
 
This isn't quite what you asked for, but you should also bookmark websites which offer authoritative expository posts/articles, such as

http://gowers.wordpress.com/
http://terrytao.wordpress.com/
http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Encyclopedia_of_Dynamical_Systems

But you should avoid Wikipedia and other sometimes less than reliable sources. (I advocate using Wikipedia to get some keywords you can try using in a literature search at your local research library, however.)
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
