Sequel to Math 235 7 points, 15 comments
“I really enjoyed Math 136 and Math 235 courses. I'm really interested in this field/area of math/thinking and I'm wondering what courses extend naturally from these two that I can take.”
u/maaaath: “There's a lot to choose from! Linear algebra is notorious for coming up all the time basically everywhere in STEM, and there are lots of very different contexts you can do it in. …”
u/SchitLipz: “These are some really good courses, I'd also recommend PMATH 445 (although you should take abstract algebra first) and PMATH 763.”

“I'm curious”
u/maaaath: “uhhhh I'm just gonna randomly pick ones I remember or I'll be here for a while PMATH 753 > CO 471 > PMATH 763 > PMATH 451 > CO 442 > CO 255 >>>> CS xyz”
u/SchitLipz: “It's cool I've taken 5 of the 6 courses here and audited the one I haven't taken but my ranking would be different from yours: PMATH 763 > PMATH 753 > CO 442 > CO 471 > CO 255 > PMATH 451”
