Post your Winter and Spring 2011 schedules here

[Jack21222]

Alright, does everybody have that fall semester out of their system yet? It's time to stop making posts about whether that B+ will kill your chances at grad school, or if you should switch majors because of one C. Let's move forward.

There's still over a month to go before the spring semester, but I imagine most of us are registered. Also, who's taking winter classes?

I'll get us started

Winter: None

Spring 2011:

Electricity and Magnetism (300-level)
Modern Physics II
Intermediate Lab Physics II
Linear Algebra (200-level)
Directed Readings (1 credit with my research advisor. Preparing me for my senior research project starting next fall)

My grades for the fall semester will be out in 4 days so its going to be 4 more painful days of waiting!

I will be taking in spring:
Linear Algebra II
Discrete Mathematics
Real Analysis I
Regression Analysis

Along with an engineering project module and a dumb compulsory engineering elective. This is 15% above the normal workload (but at least I won't be TA-ing like I did last semester). I foresee little sleep and social life again! I guess everyone here is excited about the new semester :D

 

[Shackleford]

Thermal Physics
Probability
Work 20 hours/week

 

[_DJ_british_?]

Signal Processing
Honours Classical Mechanics II
Honours Complex Variables
Honours Applied Linear Algebra
Honours Differential Geometry

 

[Jack21222]

Thermal Physics
Probability
Work 20 hours/week

The schedule I posted includes 30 hours of work a week. Where's the rest of your classes?

 

[Monocles]

Electrodynamics, Real Analysis 2, Algebraic Topology 1 (grad level), Operator Theory (grad level), English 2, and General Chemistry (hooray for seniors taking freshmen classes!). Electrodynamics is the last physics requirement I have to take, too. Huzzah!

 

[ahsanxr]

Spring 2011:

Introductory Physics II
Calculus III
Ordinary Differential Equations (for Physics Majors)
Fundamentals of Scientific Computing
Accelerated English Writing

And I'll probably be working about 10 hours a week too. So should be a pretty busy semester. Only my second semester though. I pretty much breezed through this one (Calc II, Linear Algebra, Introductory Physics I and Philosophy) and am looking to push myself harder next semester.

 

[wild999711]

On a quarter system here:

Math Methods for Physicists (first quarter out of 3)
First upper div Lab
Modern Physics 2

 

[Chunkysalsa]

Spring '11

Calculus III
Ordinary Differential Equations
Calculus-Based Physics II w/ lab
Statics
Introduction to Engineering

Total is 17 credits

Just quit my job too so I can start to focus on this stuff. We'll see how being poor pans out this semester since I've been working and going to school since like junior year of high school.

 

[Null_]

Chemistry II with lab
Physics II -Electricity and Magnetism with lab
Honors Calculus II
PE-triathlon
History seminar

It's 16 hours, and I'm expecting the work load to be about the same as it was this past semester...I'm still waiting for two grades though!

 

[Shackleford]

The schedule I posted includes 30 hours of work a week. Where's the rest of your classes?

I don't see how you can fit all that during the week. I could theoretically take another class, but it starts a bit too early in the morning for me and ends when one of my classes starts. I'll never do that again. lol.

 

[jmason52]

Physics II. And I'm debating adding either Calculus III or Linear Algebra. Might as well completely fill up the weekends. lol

 

[l'Hôpital]

Honors: Introduction to Analysis II
Honors: Fundamentals of Algebra II
Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems (graduate-level)
Some Gen-ed.

 

[Phyisab****]

None. I'm graduating! woooooooooooo!

 

[MathematicalPhysicist]

I myself will finish my undergraudate degree as well, and will be continuing on to an Msc in math in the next semester.

I am pretty much sure I'll take two graduate number theory courses, my other choices of courses aren't final. But the other courses I am thinking of taking are Algebraic Geometry and Commutative Algebra (a graduate course), and another course in Arithmetic Groups (also a graduate course), and maybe even a seminar in Ergodic Theory.
All of these are what I am planning to take for credit for the Msc, other than that I may participate in other advanced courses for math and physics majors which I didn't have time to take in my UG degree, but not for credit.

 

[Mororvia]

Ah... the start of a new semester... where there is so much hope and excitement! At least until those first test scores come back ;)

Good luck all!

 

[flyingpig]

And
one of : abstract algebra, number theory or economics
Which ever one fits into my schedule.

 

[Chaostamer]

Spring 2011
Linear Algebra II
Graph Theory
Statistical Theory II

Maybe Topology. I'm on the fence about it (hence my recent thread), but I'm leaning toward it now. If not Topology, I'll probably default to Number Theory. I'd rather not, since it's sort of a soft option at my school and the teacher isn't great.

So, either Topology or Number Theory.

Have you taken analysis ?

I don't know if it is a good idea to do topology without some analysis. I haven't taken topology myself but from what I heard a first course in analysis is helpful.

No, I'm taking my first course in Analysis in the Fall (my first opportunity to do so). I've heard that Topology can motivate Analysis as much as the other way around (and at my school, neither lists the other as a prerequisite), so I figured I might be okay if I work at Topology enough. Either way, I plan to study it independently over my break, so I'll at least have some vague foundation by the time the spring starts.

And since I'm new here, I'm not 100% solid on the forum rules just yet, so I don't want to run the risk of derailing this topic. I have a thread about my Topology situation. If you like, we can talk about it over there.

Deleuze
Category Theory reading group

Yeah, I'm doing a double major in math and either philosophy or critical theory/rhetoric. As such, I mainly work with continental linguistic philosophy. The readings for the Deleuze class are primarily from the volumes of Capitalism and Schizophrenia.

grad freshman?

 

[ephedyn]

Mmhmm, I took 1 graduate class this semester. Nonlinear dynamics and fractals and current research topics in physics are also graduate classes, so it makes 3 graduate classes next semester.

 

[johng23]

I'm going to take a solid state physics course and a quantum mechanics course

How can you take so many courses? That seems impossible time-wise.

 

[phriot]

Winter: None

Spring 2011:

Genetics
Organic Chemistry I
(Set of 3 Courses to fulfill a school requirement.)
Intro to Moral Reasoning
Honors: Popular Religion
Honors Seminar: [My School's Name] and How to Fix it

[Chaostamer]

Abstract Algebra II
Linear Algebra (proof-based)
Optimization
Advanced Calculus
Electromagnetism (upper one)
Classical Mechanics II

Sounds fun--at least the first three courses. Is "Advanced Calculus" at your school an analysis course? It is at mine, but I've seen other schools use the term for their vector calculus--or even multivariable calculus--classes.

 

[Jack21222]

Honors Seminar: [My School's Name] and How to Fix it

Your school is broken?

Yeah time is always a problem, but I'd say getting your grades by the slimmest margin is more painful. I did 7 classes in my first semester and there were a number of times I had to deliberately neglect one homework assignment over another because of time constraint. I got lucky with my group theory class, which only had take-home exams, which saved me a lot of revision time.

But I still had time to churn out a research grant proposal and do the Putnam just 2 weeks ago, so it's definitely not too big a deal to take 8 classes.

 

[Chunkysalsa]

My school spits out an error when I try to register for 20+ credits. I don't know if there's an override but I don't see how anybody could fit all that in anyways.
