Courses Recommended courses for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges of entering the Canadian Military and pursuing a university education after obtaining a GED. The individual highlights the need to complete specific prerequisite courses, including English, Advanced Functions, Calculus and Vectors, Chemistry, and Physics, as the GED is not recognized as equivalent to a full high school diploma. For those interested in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, recommended mathematics courses include differential equations, multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and numerical methods, particularly with applications in MATLAB. These courses are essential for meeting the academic requirements and preparing for the engineering program.

For reasons I won't get into I was forced to leave school for the work force
very early. I got my GED when I was 20 with a very high score, but now
I'm trying to join the Canadian Military to take advantage of their University
subsidy program. They do not classify the GED as a full grade 12, so I will be
forced to take the required courses before applying.

The prerequisite programs are

English ENG4U
Advanced Functions MHF4U
Calculus and Vectors MCV4U
Chemistry SCH4U
Physics SPH4U

and 2 Mathematics.

There are so many mathematics courses to choose from, which do you
recommend for Mechanical and Aerospace engineering?

I'm not sure how your system works, but differential equations and multivariable calculus would be helpful. Linear algebra could be helpful. A numerical methods math class (using MATLAB or something similar) could be helpful as well.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
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...
