Geeze what a show off! Impressive schedule. As planned for me:

PY 413- Thermal Physics
PY 314- Spacetime Physics
MA 425- Real Analysis 1
NE 202- Radiation Sources/Interaction/Detection
SOC ?- Some 200 level sociology course

Expecting a pretty varied course load. Especially interested in the nuke class.

I don't blame you. :yuck:

No offense to the chemistry majors here; it's just not my thing. =]

Winter Quarter:

Math 140B - Real Analysis II
Math 162A - Differential Geometry I
Math 147 - Complex Analysis
Math 199B - Independent Study - Intro to Lie Group Theory

Then I got to decide to either take:
Math 199B - Prep class for the COMAP Mathematical Contest in Modeling or
Math 112B - Partial Differential Equations II

I will probably participate in the COMAP contest, whether or not I officially take the prep class for credit. If I decide to take the PDEs II class, it will probably be a really hard quarter for me, so I may decided to take the COMAP class and audit PDEs II, but I am afraid if I audit PDEs, I probably won't take it as seriously as I should (as in, I will prob sacrifice that class first, if work begins to pile up). I also plan to audit Math 206B - Grad Algebra II, I audited the first quarter of Grad Algebra last quarter, but I really feel I got nothing out of it because it was always the first class to be sacrificed when the work load got large (hence my fear of just auditing PDEs II)

Spring will probably look like:
Math 140C - Multivariate Analysis I
Math 162B - Differential Geometry II
Math 199 - Independent Study -Intro to Lie Algebras

And possibly take either
Math 121B - Linear Algebra II or
Math 141 - Intro to Topology or
Math 112C - PDEs II or
a 2 of the three.

Again, tough decisions. I WANTED to take Complex Analysis this winter, but was originally supposed to take Linear Algebra II, but the class was canceled (I preferred Complex, but actually NEEDED Lin Algebra II). So not taking Linear II this winter totally made my Spring complicated.

Sheesh, I feel like I am posting my schedule in crayon, compared to the difficulty of some of these courses.

I'm taking:

If I decide to kill myself/get substantial self-study done over the break, I'll be taking:

Quantum Mechanics II
Electricity & Magnetism I (upper div)
Intro to General Relativity
Partial Differential Equations
Intro to Abstract Algebra.

If not, then I'll probably replace GR with Modern Physics, Urdu or maybe just stick with 4 classes.

Only 7 more credits until I graduate w/MS in mathematics.

-Harmonic Analysis (Independent study, 4 credits)

Your crayon still has me surpassed:

Calculus 2 (4hrs)
Speech (3hrs)
Intro to Sociology (3hrs)

Ten hours while working 45 is all I can handle, even with 2 gen-ed classes.
