Applied Math Courses???

Question

Hi,

I am currently undergrad Math Student going into 3rd year.
I dont want want to teach later on...so I am considering more of applied courses rather then theoretacal.

I am taking Stats courses which i think would be useful later on.
As far Math in concerend should I take Partial Differential Equations and Real Analysis ?

I took 2 Algebra courses in 2nd year but couldnt see the point of it since i dont want to teach ...shoud I leave Algebra out now...?

Doing minon in Economics with it.

Answer 1

I assume that one of the algebra classes you took was Linear Algebra? If not -- take one. Some sort of advanced course in Analysis would be helpful -- but Real Analysis is usually all theory. Differential Equations would be helpful. If you ar einterested in finance, take a class where you deal with Brownian motion. Continue with statistics -- perhaps taking an econometrics class in the Economics department.

I'd also suggest taking some finance classes -- particularly those dealing with options pricing.
