Post your schedule -- SP2009

[Sidoh]

M 317 is basically introduction to analysis.
M 467 is second semester algebra.  I'm taking the first semester now and I've really enjoyed it.
CS 520 is the graduate algorithms course.  I'm taking the capstone senior course this year and it's definitely been my favorite class.
CS 314 is software engineering.  It's going to be boring. :(

I'm planning on registering for another class, but I'm reserving it for a stupid core curriculum course.  The only one that sounded interesting was some philosophy class that was like "history of scientific thought" or something, but it's not offered next semester, so I still need to figure out what I'm going to take.  I want to take the graduate AI course too, but I need to get these dumb core curriculum classes out of the way. :(

Here's my schedule:
8:30 - 12:00 -- work
12:00 - 13:00 -- lunch
13:00 - 4:30 -- work

Woo!

[Chavo]

A MTWF class? weird.

CS 314 is software engineering.  It's going to be boring. :(

When I took KSU's equivalent of this class I thought it would be pretty boring too but apart from UML the professor managed to make it pretty interesting by requiring outside research projects into software that utilized some cool software engineering techniques.  I wrote a 10 page paper on Rational Rose and a 20 page paper on EMF (Eclipse Modelling Framework).

Heh, yeah.  Math classes are usually 3 credits here, but this one is 4.  CS classes are almost without exception 4 credits, but they usually have 1 hour lab/recitation.

Ah, cool.  I guess it could be fun. :)

Here's my schedule:
8:30 - 12:00 -- work

Woo!

haha :)

That's a long work schedule!  3 hours of sleep?  Heesh!

Is your class using a topological approach to deriving calculus?

Is your class using a topological approach to deriving calculus?

The analysis class?  I couldn't tell you.  I could certainly ask, though.  This is "intro" analysis, so I doubt it's anything too profound.  I'm thinking about taking the followups, which are analysis and analysis w/ complex variables.  Not sure about that though.  It'll depend on how many free credits I have.  I'm definitely planning on taking topology at some point.  That sounds like a really fun topic.

Differential geometry is probably more interesting than topology, for most people (e.g. if you don't have some unusual craving for highly obscure and abstract mathematics).  (Don't get me wrong though -- differential geometry is very abstract. :P.  There just seems to be more topics one can relate to, and describe to their friends, etc.).

The intro to topology common to "honors" intro analysis courses is pretty cool though -- metric spaces, compact sets, connected sets, etc.  Often these courses are framed around developing calculus with these more abstract and general topological tools.

[Sidoh]

idk, I really do have an affinity for abstract stuff.  Maybe there's a limit on that, though, as I do enjoy seeing applications every now and again.  I can look into differential geometry, although I expect they'll want me to have prerequisites I don't yet have. :(

My schedule for Winter Quarter, 2009:



PHY 009HB: Honors Physics^*
MAT 021C: Calculus (series and sequences, according to a friend)
PHI 001: Intro to Philosophy (gen ed)
ECS 030: Intro Prog&Prob Solving (programming)

I CAN'T TAKE NORMAL PHYSICS NOW WTF! :O!!!!!!! I'M DOOMED.

[Chavo]

You don't want to take normal physics anyway.  GenPhys usually means non-calculus based Physics, which ironically, is harder if you have a strong understanding of Calculus because you have to simply memorize equations rather than learn how they are derived and understand them.

[truste1]

Well, I forgot to register for classes but this is what I'm trying to get into. All but public speaking are waitlisted though.

MWF 10:30-11:20 - The History of Western Art
MWF 12:30-1:20 - Money and Banking
MW 2:30-3:50 - Public Speaking
TWR 1:30-2:20 - Civil War & Reconstruction
TR 10:00-11:20 - Environmental Biology

There are three levels of physics here.

The 7 series ("General Physics") is like... those who need to take physics as a gen ed class. The 9 series ("Classical Physics") is for majors related to physics/math as some other majors require the 9 series. The 9H series (what I'm taking) is for people who really like physics / are in the Honors Program.

[Chavo]

I'd still prefer that over Algebra based Physics anyday.

My university had 3 tiers as well, GenPhys, EngPhys (for engineers, obviously), and Honors Phys (math/phys majors only).  I took EngPhys but I heard that the only major difference between that and Honors was that Honors required more deriving and theory.
