What course did you or do you typically learn about mathematical

AI Thread Summary
Mathematical splines are typically covered in courses such as numerical analysis, computational physics, or mathematical modeling. They are considered a straightforward concept that can be self-taught in a few hours for those familiar with polynomials, piecewise-defined functions, and derivatives. The discussion emphasizes the accessibility of learning about splines and their practical applications in various mathematical fields.

I would think numerical analysis or some kind of computational physics or mathematical modeling class.
 


I also learned about them in numerical analysis, but they are a very straightforward idea - you could teach them to yourself in a few hours as long as you are comfortable with polynomials, piecewise-defined functions, and derivatives.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

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...
