Advice Needed: Majoring in Computer Engineering & Minoring in Math

In summary, the speaker is planning to major in Computer Engineering and minor in Math and Econ. They are considering taking History of Mathematics as one of their minor courses, but are also interested in Discrete Math and Linear Algebra. They are seeking recommendations for "fun" math classes and are disappointed that the class on theory of coding has too many pre-requisites. They mention needing two more math courses to finish their minor.

hey guys (Wave). ok so i been thinking. what I'm going to do is major in Computer Engineering and get a minor in math and econ. for a minor in math i need two more classes after my required math classes for engineering. i am thinking to take History of Mathematics. i want to take discrete math but for that i need a class required before that which is not in my required courses for C.E. so that would mean an extra course. I hate my adviser so I am coming to you guys :eek: do you guys think i should take or do you guys recommend any other "fun" math class?

or linear algebra. i might take that instead. or a beginning advanced mathematics class...

i want to take the class that's about theory of coding but it has 3 pre-reqs...

Just two courses to finish the Minor ? Strange !

Linear algebra and discrete mathematics are fun and interesting.

yeah because i need to take calc1,2,3 and differential equations and then i need to more math courses. i might take linear algebra i think. i really wanted to take the theory of coding but it has too many classes that are pr-requisites.
