No responses yet. I'm guessing no one else starts school this early in January?
 
I thought you were a nerd, but damn! :-p

I recall there already being a thread on this subject for this semester. Anyway, here is what I am taking, and my semester starts on the 16th of January.

Number Theory
Advanced Calculus 2
Intro Differential Geometry
Russian 2

Also, I will be preparing for the GRE Math subject test.edit...

yep, here is the thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=146086

I've got exams for the current semester starting in a few weeks on:
Advanced Quantum Theory
Differential Geometry
Complex Analysis.

After that, I'll be taking:
Quantum Field Theory
Black Holes
Dissertation
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
