In summary, the best upper level physics classes for math vary depending on individual interests and career goals. These may include classes such as quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, and mathematical methods for physics. Upper level physics classes rely heavily on mathematical skills such as calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, and complex analysis. They differ from lower level classes in terms of being more mathematically rigorous and focusing on more specific topics within physics. A background in upper level physics and math can lead to various career opportunities, including research positions in physics, engineering, and other scientific fields, as well as careers in finance, data analysis, and computer science. To succeed in these classes, it is important to stay on top of the material, seek

I mainly like physics due to it's applied nature and would like to take two or maybe 3 more course that both teach fundamental physics and delve deeper into mathematics that can be used outside of the immediate field.

My choices are:
Theorhetical Mechanics
Mathematical Physics
Electromagnetism

could someone rank them in order (1/2/3) that would accomplish this goal most efficiently?
