Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the choice of courses for a minor in mathematics while majoring in Computer Engineering. Participants explore options for fulfilling the minor requirements and share their thoughts on specific math classes that could be beneficial or enjoyable.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory
- Homework-related
Main Points Raised
- One participant is considering taking History of Mathematics as one of the two required courses for the math minor.
- Another participant suggests Linear Algebra as an alternative, expressing interest in both Linear Algebra and Discrete Mathematics.
- Some participants note that Linear Algebra and Discrete Mathematics are fun and interesting, and they could be useful for a career in computer engineering.
- There is mention of a desire to take a class on the theory of coding, but concerns are raised about the number of prerequisites required for that course.
- Participants express surprise at the minor only requiring two additional courses after the required math classes for engineering.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree that Linear Algebra and Discrete Mathematics are valuable courses for the minor, but there is no consensus on which specific classes to take, as individual preferences and prerequisites vary.
Contextual Notes
Participants discuss the prerequisites for various courses, which may influence their decisions. There is also a mention of required calculus courses that must be completed before pursuing the minor.
do you guys think i should take or do you guys recommend any other "fun" math class?
