SUMMARY

The discussion centers on selecting an upper-level elective for a Mathematics major at UT Dallas, focusing on options related to Mathematics. The participant is considering courses in economics, electrical engineering (EE), computer science (CS), and physics, with a preference for those that apply mathematical skills. A suggestion was made to consider a mathematical methods of physics class, which would provide practical applications of mathematics in physics rather than abstract theory.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of undergraduate statistics and applied mathematics
  • Familiarity with basic concepts in physics, particularly mechanics
  • Knowledge of elective course structures in engineering and computer science
  • Awareness of research areas in system control theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research mathematical methods of physics courses available at UT Dallas
  • Explore the intersection of mathematics with electrical engineering concepts
  • Investigate the role of mathematics in economics and its applications
  • Learn about foundational computer science topics that utilize mathematical principles
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate Mathematics majors, students interested in applying mathematical skills in interdisciplinary fields, and those considering electives that enhance their understanding of system control theory.

It is time for me to choose my upper elective. I am a Maths major and I want to choose my elective somehow relate to Maths. Due to prerequisite, my choices of upper elective can be chosen from econ, EE, CS, and phys. There is some information about myself, I am undergrad statistic and applied Maths major in UT Dallas. My education goal at this time is to get my master in Maths, and I think my research for master should be about system control theory. I personally don’t know much about EE and CS. I am only able to understand mechanic in phys, not so much in E&M. I would like my elective is something I can apply my Maths skill to. I have eliminated everything else that I don’t like. Can anyone give me some advice about this? Anything is appreciated!

If they have some kind of mathematical methods of physics class you could take, that would probably be your best physics possiblity. It gives you an applied knowledge of how math is used for physics, rather than a bunch of abstract theory. I never took econ or much in the way of CS, so I'll leave that to those who took those (I was a math and physics major).
