Let's have a get-to-know each other thread. What kinds of math have you taken/do you know?

I've taken calc/DiffEqs and Linear Algebra, and am currently doing Numerical Analysis and Real Analysis. Compactness is weird as hell.

İ can count to 100...
>> No. 3
Calc 1-3, Diff Eq next semester, and Linear in the fall. No more after that for my degree :(.
>> No. 4
I'm taking abstract algebra, real analysis, foundations and analytic functions in the spring.
>> No. 5
>>3
me again. Is this normal for a physics degree? I feel like stat and more advanced classes would be needed. I'm at Uni of Maryland.
>> No. 6
Taken cal 1-3, took finite math and calculus with applications on a whim, now I'm going to take Number Theory, Diff Eq, Linear Algebra, and Topology.
All in one semester. Should I be scared?
>> No. 7
undergrad math major: last year I took real and complex analysis, this year I'm doing geometry (topology, differential) and abstract algebra and some options courses in Sage and number theory.
>> No. 8
Half of a geometry course.
>> No. 9

At my school I think that's all that is needed, but a lot of people do Tensor Calc or some sort of Riemannian geometry for relativity applications. If you like Diff Eqs, then anything with Boundary Value problems or PDEs would be pretty straightforward and also useful

How are you guys liking abstract algebra? I'm probably taking that next quarter and after how intense real analysis is, I'm a little worried about taking it and complex analysis at the same time.

>>6
From my experience, Diff Eq and Linear Algebra weren't bad, but it does depend on you and your profs. A lot of non-math majors take those, so they probably won't be as intensive or proof-based.

Well, it's awesome that you came here anyway! I know people hype it here all the time, but the Khan Academy is a nice website for learning more math, if you're interested.

4 here.
Alegbra is pretty easy in my opinion, much easier than analysis or differential equations.

Once you get comfortable with one algebraic structure anything that is a set with functions and axioms becomes way easier. e.g. metric spaces.

Calc 1-4. not sure how that translates across institutions, it's pretty standard but that means up through vector calc, though we skipped vector fields D: and linear algebra and I bombed a stats class because it was just infuriating busywork. I'd be hella down with something calc-based though. Everyone in my class hated math, it was dumb.
>> No. 12
I've taken Calculus I, II, III, advanced Calculus, Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, Discrete Mathematics, Linear Algebra, Abstract/Modern Algebra, Numerical Analysis, Intermediate Analysis (Real Analysis), Theory of Risk, Introduction to Probability (no idea why it's called introduction as it's a level 300 course and has double integration for finding probabilities), and some statistics. Next semester I'll be taking Advanced Abstract/Modern Algebra and Life Contingencies.
I'm not really into the actuarial stuff, but I like the discrete and abstract ones.

>7 speaking
I actually found my first algebra course (group theory) to be quite challanging. The first 3 weeks of the course is an insane barrage of definitions, concepts and theorems you need to know like the back of your hand to do well for the rest of the course. So once you get all that information straight and you can use your head, the course is fairly smooth sailing. I would not worry about taking it at the same time as complex analysis. Complex analysis is pretty easy. Or at least my courses were last year when I took them. It's like advanced calculus, but on the complex plane with various applications.

No ring theory enthusiasts? ;-;

I bet there will be once you make a "ring theory overview/problems/ask-away" thread for us calc/linalg folks!
>> No. 17
I've taken up to Calc III, Diffeq, Graph Theory, Probability Theory, Discrete, and Linear Algebra.

Taking Abstract Algebra next semester. I really want to take Number Theory. Haven't taken a calc class in at least a year so I'm scared to take an Analysis course but I hear I'll need to if I'm to take Topology (and I'd like to).
>> No. 18
>>17
Actually life would probably be much easier for you if you were to take topology before analysis. I wish I did ;_;
>> No. 19
>>14
Rings are sweet, man.

Groups are for bitches.
>> No. 21
>>18
I took topology first and this is a fact.

SAGE has been used.
>> No. 24
I am teaching myself multivariable/vector calc and tensor math, so that I can understand QM and GR some day.

Also, discrete math, axiomatic type theory and category theory are fun from a CS standpoint.
