I am an industrial engineering junior who is interested in postgraduate studies. Currently my curriculum is very oriented towards practicality instead of theory, so we only learn math theory at a superficial level (the calculus and linear algebra classes were all about identifying the correct equations to use at the correct time). I hope that my postgraduate work (I do not know which exact field yet) will be a good mix of theory/applied.
I have 1.5 years more to finishing my undergraduate education. How can I spend this time to build a solid mathematical foundation which will prepare me for grad school?
Currently, I am picking up basic discrete math and mathematical statistics while relearning my calculus and probability/statistics material.
Next, linear algebra (although I won't be done with discrete math and mathematical stats anytime soon... learning all these on the side of normal curriculum is tough). What subjects should be next?
If you are an engineer/industrial engineer or work in statistics/operations research, I would especially welcome your advice. Math-types kindly help me too, thanks guys.
