Anyone else taking PMATH 399: Math of Quantum Info in W19? 1 point, 7 comments
u/daddyRiemann: “Just wanted to see if anyone else was taking PMATH 399: "The mathematics of quantum information", over winter 2019. It's offered as a reading course, but will be structured similar to any other 3 year pmath course according to professor Slofstra.”

PMATH 333 or MATH 247? 4 points, 5 comments
“Never taken any advanced courses. Already took M237”
u/BronzeWarrior15: “I took it Winter 2016 — it was still called PMATH 399 then. Never took advanced courses, although I wish I had. Even then my friend and I took it at the same time having only done MATH 237 and we were able to keep up with the lectures fairly easily. …”

“I heard some faculty of arts courses you are able to make a section for when it is not usually offered if you get around 14 people to sign a petition saying to make a section for that class. …”
u/djao: “… What you can do at the last minute is ask a prof to run a reading course (PMATH 399, CO 499, CS 499R, etc.). …”

MATH237 -> PMATH352? 7 points, 23 comments
“I regret not taking advanced level courses, but I am now thinking I want to take some pmath courses. Has anyone here gone from math237 to pmath352 (and eventually to 351)? If so, how did it go? …”
u/Akinohana: “By the way, PMATH website says that PMATH 333, a new course introduced to cover those who want to take PMATH 351/352 but did not take 247, will be offered Winter 2016. …”
u/apliens: “This is correct, it will be offered in Winter 2016 under PMATH 399.”
