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
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
