Maximizing Applied Math Electives: Balancing Double Major and Graduation Goals

AI Thread Summary
Starting applied math elective courses in the junior and senior years while double majoring in physics and retaking abstract algebra is not inherently bad. It is important to focus on mastering the material rather than adhering strictly to a graduation timeline. Graduating in six years is not uncommon, and taking extra time to ensure a solid understanding of the subjects can be beneficial. Prioritizing course completion and academic success over a rigid deadline is advisable.

Is it bad if you start taking your applied math elective courses in your junior and senior year, while double majoring in physics and retaking abstract algebra in the fall of your junior year?

Lets say you want to at least graduated in 2010

Let's say you just postpone graduation by one or two semesters. Be careful about trying too forcefully to use a time deadline.

I mean, take as much time as necessary to complete the courses that you want to successfully complete.
 
How long does it take most people to graduate? Is it abnormal to graduate in 6 years?
 

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"...
