Programs Math Minor for MSE in Comp. Engineering

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on selecting math courses for a master's program in Computer Engineering, specifically focusing on embedded systems, computer architecture, and power management. The recommended course sequences include options like Probability, Combinatorial Enumeration, Graph Theory, and Combinatorial Algorithms, as well as advanced courses in analytical and computational methods. One option is ruled out due to scheduling conflicts. The participant expresses interest in taking EE629 and EE630, which cover a broad range of advanced math topics, but questions their relevance given a background in mechanical and electrical engineering. They also seek opinions on the potential benefits and applications of Combinatorial Enumeration, Graph Theory, and Combinatorial Algorithms, particularly Graph Theory, which has piqued their interest. Additionally, they inquire about the value of courses like Numerical Analysis and Linear Algebra, seeking recommendations for other suitable math courses within the curriculum.

While doing my master's I have to take a sequence of two classes in math. My master's is in Computer Engineering, mostly on subject of embedded systems, computer architecture and OS, with focus on power management for my thesis.

List below shows recommended course sequences:
Recommended Course Sequences.
MA585 Probability CPE 619: Modeling and Analysis of Computer and Communication Systems
MA540: Combinatorial Enumeration MA640: Graph Theory
MA640: Graph Theory MA740: Combinatorial Algorithms
EE 629 & EE 630: Analytical and Computational Methods in EE I & II
CS 555: Formal Program CS 603: Formal Languages and Development Automata Theory

First option will be impossible to take just because it will not be offered during next two semesters.

Next I was thinking to take EE629 & 630, which is basically advanced math course covering wide range of topics. Some of those topics I already touched in previous classes and some sections seems to be suited more for mechanical or electrical engineering (which I did for my undergraduate degree).

However, what do you think of Combinatorial Enumeration, Graph Theory and Combinatorial Algorithms? This would be more specific and possibly I can get more from those classes and it will be something new to me (especially Graph Theory). I also got somewhat interested in graph theory after doing a little research... However, how useful would two of those classes (MA540 & MA640 or MA640 & MA740)? What would be possible applications of those math courses?

Or maybe.. someone can recommend me something else to take from mathematical curriculum.

How about taking something like Numerical Analysis and Linear Algebra?

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

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"...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

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...
