I go to a 2-year community college right now, but at the university that I plan on transfering to you have to take 5 extra classes. So I plan on taking one of these five classes each semester instead of one of the classes for my major and just going one extra semester. I think that only one extra semester is not that bad.

I didn't major in math, but here's what I took for math as an engineering undergrad:

1st year:
Calculus I-II-III
Differential Equations
Probability and Statistics
(I went over the summer, too)

2nd year:
Advanced Calculus
Linear Algebra
Problem Solving Seminar (for the Putnam Exam, on which I got 3 points :redface:)
Complex Variables

3rd year:
Computer Science I
Partial Differential Equations

4th year:
Modeling and Analysis of Uncertainty (more stats)

Math is backgound for sciences and engineering. you learn compsc you need math, if you learn physics, math is also necessary.
Choosing math/compsci or math/physics is up to what you really like, but Do both if you have time is my real suggestion..:biggrin:
Hey, don't tell me that people are doing something different from what I suggest :wink: :biggrin:

I'd try to do both, too. I actually wanted to, but I couldn't take physics, so I opted for geology instead. However, I may get my chance since I might be there an extra year anyway. Might as well take classes that I want to take since I have to be there for my extra one or two classes.
