Post Your Summer/Fall 2013 Class Schedules

[WannabeNewton]

You're taking Algebra?

I have to. It's a strict mandatory pre-req class for Lie Groups so I don't have much of a choice.

 

[dustbin]

You don't like algebra?

 

[WannabeNewton]

You don't like algebra?

I mean it isn't philosophy of baking so I'm not complaining

 

[dustbin]

That sounds like "no". lol

 

[QuantumCurt]

I mean it isn't philosophy of baking so I'm not complaining

I want to take a philosophy of baking class. That sounds like an incredibly fascinating subject.

Even better...a Philosophy of BACON class! That's one that you'd have to register for the moment registration opens up. It would be full within a matter of minutes.

 

[dustbin]

Philosophy of BACON

This is up there with Russian Logic.

 

[QuantumCurt]

This is up there with Russian Logic.

Perhaps the two could be combined? Logic and Formal Reasoning of Russian Bacon?

The Russian Logic of Formal Bacon?

 

[dustbin]

Logic and Formal Reasoning of Salo? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salo_(food)

I can only imagine what formal bacon is O.O

Formal bacon is bacon on a level that the common person rarely sees. You've got to be in the right "circle" to even have access to it. Sadly, I'm not in that circle. I've seen it a couple times before though.

Salo? Hmm...I don't know what to think of that.Anywho...I've only got a week and a half until my semester starts. I'm still trying to come to terms with that. I've been enjoying this whole "lounging around the house all day" thing.

Lounging is certainly one of the great luxuries of life, enjoy it while you can...

WBN wouldn't be in that class lol.

 

[Metta]

Fall

Calculus 1
Chemistry 1

[lasymphonie]

I have no clue what I'm taking. I know that I'm definitely taking Quantum Mechanics II and Statistical Mechanics, but aside from that, I don't know...

 

[QuantumCurt]

Fall

Calculus 1
Chemistry 1
General physics 1
Intro to Engineering design.

It starts in two weeks.

Your schedule's pretty similar to mine. I've got Calculus I, General Physics I, General Chemistry I...but I've got Intro to Anthropology, and Beginning Spanish I. Aside from that, sounds like we'll have a similar semester.

I'm looking forward to it. Should be a fun and challenging semester.

 

[NATURE.M]

Fall Semester:

Calculus!
Linear Algebra I
Foundations of physics I
History and philosophy of science
Scientific Revolutions I

Only 3 weeks now!

 

[romsofia]

Subatomic Physics
Electricity and Magnetism
English Composition I (zzzz, never been good at writing essays)
Public speaking

I have to. It's a strict mandatory pre-req class for Lie Groups so I don't have much of a choice.

I thought in most universities you can just talk to the professors and they'll allow you to take their class if you can show you know the pre-req material well. Nonetheless, have fun with your cosets and isomorphisms!

 

[hsetennis]

Differentiable Manifolds 1
Measure Theory and Lebesgue Integration
Honors Algebra
General Relativity

1 physics course as a physics major...not too shabby

Is that the graduate Algebra with Dennis?

I hope you don't mind if I ask what you took last year?

 

[Jorriss]

Don't talk him out of it. He needs algebra.

 

[micromass]

He was actually just kidding about the algebra; he just said said it to mess with jorriss since he's always grilling him about taking algebra

Same here. While most people are complaining about school starting in two weeks, I am actually counting the days. I am aiming for a a 4.0 first semester but we'll see how it all plays out.


Ps. Where do you attend?

 

[QuantumCurt]

Lounging is certainly one of the great luxuries of life, enjoy it while you can...

Oh I certainly am. I've managed to get quite a bit done around the house though too, in between lounging on the couch. I've also worked through a lot of material in my College Algebra, and Trigonometry textbooks that we skipped over, or just briefly touched on over the last couple semesters. I'm looking ahead into my Calculus book a little bit too. So, it hasn't all be complete lounging...just mostly...lol

I'm currently in a community college, Sauk Valley Community College, in northwestern Illinois. I'm getting all of my lower level courses and my GenEds done here. After I finish my associates, the plan is to transfer to UIUC. I'll have two more years here before I transfer, but I've managed to hold on to my 4.0 through my first year, and my summer classes. I'm counting the days, but I'm also enjoying being on break. My classes start August 19th, so I'm almost there.

This will be your first semester? Where are you going?

Is your General Physics I course algebra/trig based? I'm assuming so, since you're taking Calculus I this semester. I'm looking forward to finishing the algebra based physics, and getting into the Calculus based stuff.

Yeah my gen physics class is Trig/algebra based. The hardcore stuff won't begin until spring which again, I cannot wait.

I am also at a CC, mesa community college in Mesa Arizona. I am going for Mechanical Eng. I graduated from HS at 17 and messed around for two years in a Uni and didn't take it serious which ruined my gpa.

Don't feel bad, I dropped out of high school my sophomore year. I was a straight A student up until about halfway through freshmen year when I just quit caring about school. Then I took a hiatus for a few years, and got my GED when I was 18, and started college at 25. Now I'm majoring in physics...possibly going to double major in physics and math after I transfer.

We might have to set up some virtual study sessions since we're going to have almost identical schedules...lol

 

[Theorem.]

They split your algebra up into parts like that and allow you to take them simultaneously? Are they undergrad classes? We have Abstract Algebra 1 and 2, where Abs Alg 1 is a prerequisite for 2.

One of them (Groups and fields) focuses on Galois Theory. Advanced Group Theory focuses on more advanced topics in group theory, it is a continuation of a more elementary group theory class that all honors math students take in their 2nd or 3rd year. Both of these classes have several algebra pre-reqs. I am in an algebra stream of a pretty specialized program so "my algebra" is split up into over 5-10 parts if you look at it that way haha, but that is pretty standard. I don't see how the many many many beautiful areas of algebra can just be covered in 3 courses but it depends on the length/how universities organize their course sequences!

EDIT: I guess I should add that those courses are really only accesible to students who are serious about math- they are close analogies to certain graduate courses, but yes we do have several algebra classes offered.

 

[deekin]

Sounds like a pretty sweet math program. Wish my school had that much to offer, as I'm a math major also. Our math dept is kind of small, so the algebra sequence is only offered every other year, same thing with real analysis, complex analysis, topology, etc.

 

[Jorriss]

He was actually just kidding about the algebra; he just said said it to mess with jorriss since he's always grilling him about taking algebra

My heart </3.

In any event, I won't be taking classes this quarter but I'll be auditing graduate real analysis and one other course.

 

[462chevelle]

college algebra
English comp 1
conc. phys science
us history

We have a few courses like that, that are only offered every second year do to the number of students enrolled in them being quite low. It really sucks when that happens, but thankfully the department does offer quite a beautiful collection of courses. The program is not bad, the number of students in undergraduate is very small (there are just as many grad students as there are students in the honors math program). The honors programs are neat since they really allow you to dig in and specialize

[dustbin]

The Art and Craft of Problem Solving (a Putnam preparation course)

I really wanted to take my schools Putnam-prep course, but it conflicts with my analysis class :'-(

 

[walk_w/o_aim]

I really wanted to take my schools Putnam-prep course, but it conflicts with my analysis class :'-(

I know the feeling. I've been wanting to take the course for the past two years, but could not due to conflicts. There have also been weekly problem solving sessions that I could never attend because other required classes kept getting in the way.
