Based on what I’ve read here, I really have to absolutely kill linear algebra. Maybe some abstract algebra, too. And based on all this talk of manifolds, I’m guessing some topology and differential geometry is in order.
Those of you who know GR, can you offer a math subject prescription so I can finally learn GR?
For the record my math background is currently maxed out here:
*Undergraduate multi-variable calculus
*The barest basics of linear algebra (before you get to more abstract concepts like really understanding vector spaces, basis, kernel, etc).
*Undergraduate differential equations up to some simple partial differential equations (I suppose the furthest I got is separation of variables and utilizing a Laplace transform table).
*A little bit of set theory, truth tables, and some of what you learn in the “Transition” math class undergraduates take before they are allowed to take courses like analysis, abstract algebra, topology and the like.
*A little exposure to group theory, and a couple other very watered down abstract algebra concepts.
Again, thanks to all who respond. I know this is kind of a vague question.
