    Class Semester
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the dilemma of choosing between Microeconomics and Differential Geometry. The urgency to take Microeconomics arises from a requirement for accreditation by an actuary society, necessitating completion by the end of 2018. There are concerns about the availability of future class slots, particularly for Microeconomics, and the potential shortage of math classes next semester if Differential Geometry is not taken now. The individual also emphasizes the need to align class schedules with work commitments, making timing crucial. Despite feeling that the reasons for this choice may seem trivial, the individual expresses genuine concern about meeting academic and professional requirements. Seeking advice from an academic advisor is suggested as a more appropriate route for addressing these scheduling and course selection issues.

It's kind of unrelated to the curriculum of these two classes, by the way.

Basically, I have a choice to take Microeconomics and Differential Geometry. While I do find the concept of applying my calculus and linear algebra skills to the latter course, I cannot help but feel that I have to take Microeconomics as soon as possible.

For my school, if I don't take Microeconomics by the end of 2018, I won't be able to be accredited by an actuary society. I'm also afraid that if I don't take Microeconomics this semester at this time slot, I won't know what time slots this class will be offered for in the next semester. On the other hand, I'm afraid that if I don't take Differential Geometry this semester, I will have a shortage of math classes to take next semester at a convenient time slot. I mean, I have other math classes I can take next fall, but I really don't know at what time and on what days they will be offered. The reason I need to take these classes at specific time slots is because I have work and must arrange my schedule so that I am able to meet the minimum amount of work hours my workplace requires me to do each week.

I am fully aware that I sound petty with these "reasons" as to why I want to take either of these courses. I just worry about the availability of these classes for this year, and whether or not they will fit into my work schedule. Is this a bad place to ask these questions? I feel like an academic advisor at my college would be better able to address my concerns.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
