In the fall I currently only have 11 credits and no physics courses will fit in my schedule with the way the times are set up. I was going to either take a math or a computer science course(leaning towards math).
Besides PDEs/intro linear algebra course, which math courses would generally be the most useful in physics?
Some of the options I was looking at include:
Abstract Algebra
Advanced Linear Algebra(Edit: this is only offered in spring so I can't do this)
Probability Theory
Complex Variables
Combinatorics
Topology
Number Theory
Real Analysis
Numerical Analysis (I have 2 programming courses so this wouldn't be over my head)
My problem is I'm not too sure which ones will actually be useful and applicable to my physics courses.
Currently I have Calc1-3, ODEs, PDEs, some self-studied complex variables, and an introductory Linear Algebra course
