(that is MATH 235)

you don't need a coding class for that?

I think it is assumed we have one since you have to take computational physics in 2nd year, but I guess not technically

they make you learn algorithm analysis without knowing coding

sounds about right

do you actually have room to choose classes?

Depends on the class, my fall is stacked

I have slots to fill for winter

Fall I am already running into an issue as to if I want to take calculus of variations, or Partial differential equations 2

since I am already quite full on classes

have you done abstract algebra yet?

not sure what course would be an equivalent to that, but no

group theory, rings, fields...

Ah

no I did not take that

I mostly stayed away from the pure math courses

thats one of the undergrad classes i'd need to take if I switched to mathematics

can you take acoustics?

Probably but I have no idea why I would

because signal processing is awesome

I basically get 5 courses a term if I do not want to overload and kill myself with 6

2 slots are auto taken up by required courses in fall

it is recommended if I want to do grad school I take the research project course which would be a 3rd fall course

oh right you aren't an engineer so you don't need to take 6 courses for 4 semesters

Nope, 5 for 2

are you able to do undergrad research outside of the class at your school?

yes but I would have to set that up as well

I should in theory email profs to see if I could work with them for a couple months over the summer

If you are curious for what I am working with leg

http://www.ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/1920/COURSE/course-AMATH.html#AMATH373

these are the two sets of courses I am mostly considering

particle physics all the way

already on my list for winter

along with GR

i would have considered physics if I could skip to that and ignore the kinematics

if they taught Maxwell's Equations without complex numbers I would be extremely confused

If you never mention complex numbers, and explain it all from the ground up without them it is not too bad to follow

but I can imagine it would be hard to picture it if you were taught using complex

AC analysis doesn't work without phasors

did you just not call them phasors?

I know what a phasor is and do not recall using it

so no

at least not in E&M2 where AC is covered

I was reading this

The descriptions are a vague notion, my E&M2 prof does not follow the course the way it was designed to be followed exactly

this sound sfun

it is, and its on the list already

I know a guy who took it and he showed me the shit he was doing. Looks wild

I love how many of the topics on this entire page that I'm familiar with

a very large percentage

most of it from out-of-college learning

QIP and IQIP sound really cool

I could throw this on my winter term Possibly

need 2-3 courses for the winter depending on if I do the research project course

is that the equivalent to the engineering course "Dynamics"?

possibly?

it is the prereq for fluid mechanics

probably then

so if dynamics goes into that then mayble

I never had to take dynamics but that sounds like what i knew was in it

also have this course as an option for winter

phase space analysis

that class will be easy

It is also a 3rd year course, so it might help lessen the fact that GR and particle also have to be in winter and will kick my ass time constraint wise

seems like its alternative applications of my signal processing equations

If it was not fall I would do it, but I have heard that doing GR, Particle, and Cosmo at the same time is cancer

oh

Can't even take it if I wanted to

I was wondering where the advanced maths courses were then noticed it was applied

yeah, I do not have most of the prereqs for the pure math courses

I can link that too if you want it

Only one from this I have done is Pmath 332

hey nerds

the highest Math department math class I took

Hello

That's just calc 4 here
