In summary, the conversation is about the schedules of various individuals for the upcoming summer and fall semesters. Some are excited about their courses, while others are feeling overwhelmed. Some are taking advanced courses in their field of study, while others are just starting college. The conversation also includes discussions about taking courses online, participating in research, and studying ahead for the fall semester.

You'll have a really difficult time getting through any of Spivak's Calculus on Manifolds if you're planning to take multivariable calculus in the fall.

Not really, if he's gone through an analysis textbook already, and know enough linear algebra.

I am starting a master's in math this fall. My schedule is a bit weird because I was almost a math major in undergrad, but I didn't take analysis or discrete math or algebra. The grad school I got into is letting me make up some transitional coursework at the beginning of my program.

Summer:

No schedule, but I need to study a lot. Primarily calculus and linear algebra, but it might be good to look ahead to analysis or discrete math sorts of things. If anyone can suggest some good transitional texts, I'd appreciate it!

Fall:

Advanced Calc I
Algebra I
Programming in C++
 
  • #73
Fall 2012:

Linear Analysis II
Dynamics
Materials Engineering
Mechanics of Materials
Physics III (E&M)
 
  • #74
Fall 2012:
Electrodynamics 2 (Electromagnetic waves and relativity)
Analytical mechanics
Quantum mechanics 1
Philosophy of Science and ethics for physicsts

Rather excited about analytical mechanics and quantum mechanics!
 
  • #75
SUMMER:

Laplace/Fourier Series/PDE's (Cal. 5?)
Mechanics of Materials
Technical Writing for ENGR

FALL:

Numerical Methods

What would you say would be enough linear algebra?

Summer 2012:

American History since 1865
-and probably-
Intro to Business

Fall 2012:

American Government
Introductory Microeconomics
Business Calculus (unfortunately, since I was really hoping for Calculus 1 =( )
Novel Workshop

I was also aiming for Physical Geology, but there were two problems with that:
1.) The special services counselor told me that 5 courses would be too much, and
2.) It isn't going to be offered this fall semester.
Does anyone know the difference between General Geology and Physical Geology? I was aiming for Physical Geology because it sounds more appealing.

Operator-theory based linear algebra on the level of Axler (usually a second course in linear algebra) is more than sufficient from my experience. You could probably get away with a single semester intro linear algebra course, though.

  • #82
Summer
Calculus I

Fall
Calculus II
Honors Linear Algebra

Maybe Russian or Physics I

I'm planning a light load for the upcoming Fall/Spring since I have taken all of the classes I need in order to transfer except for a couple of math classes... instead of taking classes I don't need, I'm going to tutor, volunteer, and focus on self-studying.

Haha. What university offers physics degrees in two years? I would have went there and saved some money.
 
  • #96
Nah, I don't have my physics B.S. yet. I still need to take a semester of physics lab, stat mech, and a senior project. My university is nice in that they are very lax about allowing people to take graduate courses.

I've done lots of astrophysics stuff the past year (both courses and research) so this semester I'm transitioning to trying out HEP-type stuff to see how I like it :)
 
  • #97
Summer:
Starting on my thesis at ISOLDE@CERN.

We don't have classes in the summer. 13 week semester from october until december and 13 weeks from february until may. After every period exams and in august/september you can try again the exams you've failed.

Thinking about my fall schedule. (finishing master student in nuclear physics)
Physics of beam-solid interactions
Techniques in nuclear medicine
Radiation and matter (this or Biomolecular principles of medical imaging)
Advanced medical imaging
Radiation protection (full year course)
