    Fall Schedule
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a student's upcoming Fall '07 schedule, which includes a mix of math and other courses: Discrete Math, Number Theory, Electrodynamics & Kinetic Theory, Capstone Preparatory, and Intro to Speech. The student seeks feedback on whether the workload is manageable, particularly with two math courses and one physics class. Responses indicate that the course load is reasonable, especially for someone pursuing a math major. Participants suggest that the math courses may be perceived as "easy" and emphasize the importance of staying organized and not falling behind. Comparisons are made to the workloads of non-math majors, with the consensus being that engineering students would find the schedule light, while non-science majors might struggle with similar demands. Overall, the sentiment is that the student’s schedule is appropriate for their academic focus.

Next semester, Fall '07, I'll be taking a couple math courses for my math major. Could you guys give me some advice on whether or not the workload is too much?
Here is my schedule:
Discrete Math (4 units)
Number Theory (4 units)
Electrodynamics & Kinetic Theory (3 units)
Capstone Prepatory (2 units) - Basically helps us come up with a topic for our senior research project.
Intro to Speech (3 units)

What do you guys think? Am I overdoing it with the math classes and physics class? Or is it a good balance?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
your'e just taking two courses in maths and one in physics, right?
 
I wouldn't say so. I've done more and I came out fine. Just work and don't get behind.
 
and those look like "easy" math courses.
 
Really? They're easy? I honestly don't know the difficulty level of any of the math classes I'll be taking throughout my undergraduate study. I'm glad you guys don't think it's too much or much at all. Whenever I tell non-math majors my schedule, they say I'm overdoing it. I guess I shouldn't be asking them, what do they know about math anyways?
 
Engineering students would find that a bit light because you don't seem to have 4 or 5 lab classes in there :smile:. Business majors and most other non science majors would probably pass out at the thought of spending more then 2 hours per day studying. :cry:

Honestly, if you are a good student, that doesn't look bad at all.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
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.
