Hello everyone. I am a second year physics student at a large research university in Ontario. The math courses required for my degree are Calc 1,2,3 and vector calc, linear algebra, ODEs and PDEs. I have taken linear algebra, calc 1-2 and stats (not required) and am currently taking calc 3, ODEs and discrete math (not required). I am really enjoying my discrete math course and am planning on taking another math course next semester as well. My options are number theory, game theory, group theory and abstract algebra (all third year courses but I have the pre reqs for each). I would like to take either real analysis, lin alg 2 or complex variables but real analysis 1 and complex variables are only offered in the first term and lin alg 2 interferes with a mandatory physics course. I was considering abstract algebra, as it seems to have the biggest application to physics out of all of the options, but game theory and number theory sound very interesting as well. I am not specifically trying to get another major/minor but I feel that I will end up getting a math minor just by taking so many math/comp sci/applied math courses. I am already enrolled in comp sci 2 for next semester, which is a pre req for the rest of the comp sci courses. Does anyone have any advice for me? Thanks
