AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a tentative class schedule created based on prerequisites for a math major. Input is sought on the order of classes and whether adjustments are needed. Concerns are raised about the potential difficulty of taking differential geometry and topology concurrently, suggesting that topology might be a prerequisite for the geometry course. Additionally, questions arise about the limited course load of only two classes per semester, prompting inquiries about whether more classes are necessary to meet degree requirements. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding course prerequisites and maintaining a manageable schedule.

The image is my tentative schedule for the next few years. I am wondering the order in which I chose my classes is decent? I pretty much made this off of the pre-requiremets for each class. If anyone has any input on if I should move a class, take a certain class before another, etc..

Thanks!

Are any graduate classes available? Are you majoring in math? Are you taking any physics?

Yes I'm majoring in math. Not sure if any graduate classes are available and I'll be taking one physics class.
 
Hmmm, winter 2014 might be difficult. It might be that your differential geometry class presupposes that you know topology (if the course is any good, then it will have topology as a prereq). So taking those concurrently might be hard.

Also, you only take two courses each semester?? That's not really a lot, is it?
 
I was going to ask what else it is you are taking? Don't you need more classes?
 

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

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...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

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...
