Now that the new year has begun, I am excited to see more people popping in with their questions.

If you are a student or teacher, what classes will you be involved in this semester?

I am a current graduate student of statistics, taking 3 courses.

Non-parametric modeling, applied matrix algebra, computational methods.

On top of that I am tutoring in a computer lab for 15 hours a week as part of my deal with the university. Busy semester ahead!

What about you all? :)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I'm taking Calc II, Linear Algebra, Programming, Linear Circuits, Chemistry and Materials Science, and some engineering design course. :D

None! I graduated! Hahahahahahahahaha! Sorry guys. :) I couldn't hold myself. No more coursework for a while! No tests!
 
I am not enrolled in school per se, but since being promoted to MHB Administrator almost a year ago, I have been learning HTML, CSS and javascript...and it's been a blast! (Yes)

Having learned enough to be fairly dangerous in those subjects, this year I am turning my attention to PHP, SQL, how to create vBulletin products, and all aspects of vBulletin in general. My goal is to eventually be able to assist Jameson in handling any coding needs that might arise here quickly, efficiently and with authority. (Happy)
 
In the coming semester I am taking , Advanced algorithms, Programming languages, Internet security, Multi-variable real analysis , Introduction to software engineering and Arabic language course.

Currently I am taking some courses online on design using adobe illustrator.
 
I'm teaching AP Physics 1, Level Physics (that's an introductory physics course at the algebra level), AP Calculus AB, and AP Statistics. All fun!
 
I'm currently studying for a master degree in financial mathematics with interests in probability and statistics.

This year I'm taking courses like: advanced stochastic processes, advanced probability, Lévy-processes, Financial Risk Management, statistical methods, finite difference & finite elements methods, financial mathematics, actuarial models etc...
 
I'm still in high school (as opposed to all you old people :p), and I'm taking AP Statistics, IB World History, AP Psychology, AP Japanese, AP Biology, and Accounting.
 
I am going to take:
Calculus 3
Economics
History of the United states 1
Historical Geology

In addition to that I have been learning Spanish on my own for the last few months and am almost to the point of being fluent in it. After I'm fluent in Spanish I plan to start learning a third language, but not sure what that language will be at this time.
