AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around course selection and the perceived difficulty of various mathematical modules. The individual expresses confidence in their ability with Number Theory and inquires whether Combinatorics will be similarly manageable. They acknowledge a lack of preparation in Statistics and question the difficulty of Actuarial Mathematics, particularly its reliance on statistics and probability versus formula substitution. After a challenging Integral and Differential Analysis exam, they wonder about the complexity of Complex Analysis. Additionally, they seek insights into the difficulty of Coding Theory.A response emphasizes the importance of considering the usefulness and interest of the courses rather than just their ease. The individual clarifies their career aspirations, expressing a desire for a stable job rather than a high-paying position in finance. They also share an interest in patterns and the potential for creating impactful formulas. Overall, the focus remains on finding the right balance between personal interest and academic performance in choosing courses.

Dear Sir,Madam,Friends

1)I did well in Number theory and found it easy. will " combinatorics" module be easy for me?

2) I have not put any time into studying Statistics & even did not bother to pass intro to Stat module. will Actuarial maths be easy for me ? does actuarial maths have a lot of stats and probability? or just substituting from formulas.

3) Today I had Integral and differential analysis exam. exam just went crazy, very hard.
will the Complex analysis module be easy for me ?

4) How hard is coding theory?

I have to choose
One of
Actuarial maths, Coding theory,complex variables.
and
One of
Metric spaces , Combinatorics

your help is very appreciated.
With metta kindness

You're not giving usd the correct information here. You seem like you want to know what will be easy. But that's not the correct question, the correct question is "will it be useful/interesting?"

So, answer this:

- What do you want to do after undergrad?? Research in what?? Get a job in what??
- What did you find interesting so far?? What would you like to know more of??

1) I want to find a normal job ( government jobs are ok) so I can earn enough money to live, not expecting to do a job in a big bank with big pay
2) I like to know about patterns , like in a beautiful mind movie.:biggrin:
well, i like to invent some kind of useful formulae/equation that would change the world. ie - the simply forumuale will have applications in real world. so that will be benificial..
:)
But right now i just want to pass the exam sir.

MAy u be well. Thankx
 
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.
