So what are they?
Mine are as follows:

Differential Equations= Honors
Linear Algebra- Honors
Analog Circuits
Modern Physics- Honors
Engineering Thermodynamics
Physical Education
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
2 math courses and aerospace course for audit.

Advanced Calculus
Analysis
PDE's
Complex Analysis
Linear Algerba
Applied Harmonic Analysis
Transform Methods for Scientists and Engineers
Aerospace Controls [PID] (Audit)

...lots of choices. I am really looking forward to a semester of just applied math, but a bit nervous as its been almost 2.5 years since my last math course!

Im sure I forgot a lot of very BASIC stuff.

Those look like some fun courses!
 
Calc III
Electromagnetism
Design course
General Chem
C++ course

Shouldn't be too bad at all :-).

More pre ap- english, pre ap- physical science, geometry, video journalism, computers, and gifted.
 
Cryptography and Number Theory
Combinatorics
Mathematics with Computer Applications
Honours Thesis
 
Number theory would be an awesome course to take, not sure what prereqs are though.
 
Computer Organization II
Data Structures
Speech
French II
 
Calc III
Physics E&M

I'm lazy this sem.

It looks like I will have

Philosophical Perspective on the Individual (wtf?)
Classical Mythology
Thermodynamics and Optics
Intro Chem
Some math course
 
  • #11
there's a course out our high school called "Lifetime Leisure" so yeah Moose, there's some weird ones out there.
 
  • #12
Noncommutative rings
Functional Analysis
Linear Algebra
Analytic Dynamics
Philosophy of Mind
 
  • #13
Algebraic Number Theory
Noncommutative Algebra (basically the structure theory of noncommutative rings + representation theory of finite groups)
Banach Algebras & Operator Theory
Measure & Integration (a second course)
French

I'm really looking forward to this term - all the courses look very interesting - let's hope they are!

Whats Analytic Dynamics?

These courses look very interesting. :redface: I am going to miss linear algebra next semester.

I really enjoyed E&M/optics and Calc III(vector calc is the bomb)

I'm jelous morphism, except the French

I haven't decided all courses for sure yet, but these ones are absolute:

General Relativity (finally!)
String Theory :-p :-p :cool:
Algebraic Topology
Real Analysis
 
  • #19
stable isotope physics
hydrology
glaciology
radiometric dating

but that's free time

General Relativity sounds like fun, i wonder what the math prereqs are?

Just because I have to be different:

Pathogenic Microbiology
Clinical Biochemistry
Hemostasis
Transfusion Medicine
Physiology
Histology

I am actually trying to get a head start on the vector calc right now. :) I breezed through partial derivs and multi integrals (without doing many application type chapters) in 7 days so that I could do VC.
 
  • #23
I'm also jealous of morphism.
 
  • #24
Dynamics
Mechanical Response of Engineering Materials
Experimental Determination of Mechanical Response of Materials
Introduction to Thermal Science
Ordinary Differential Equations
Food Science
 
  • #25
I've got these:

Quantum Mechanics II
Particle/Nuclear Physics
Statistical Mechanics

The joys of grad school: only three classes, and not one of them is liberal arts! Too bad the homework will take 170 hours per week.

I assume this is a joke...

I am taking later shakespeare, senior projects II, and quantum mechanics. yay for my final year.
 
  • #28
Logic
Classical Mechanics
Women in the Bible
Hebrew Conversation
General Chemistry II

Statistical I here is very interesting and math intensive. I will eventually take it.

Vector Calc isn't hard at all, but it is very fun and interesting. Go Stokes and Gauss!
I have also covered all my course material up until spring break, so I am good to go.

I'm actually looking forward to it. I took statistical in undergrad, but I didn't understand that much. Basically everyone in my class has the same experience: we all took it in undergrad, got A's, and didn't have a clue what was going on. I'm hoping that I'll get more out of it as a grad student. What I really want to know is how you can figure out everything about a system just by knowing that magical "partition function."
