First off I want to apologize if there is a topic about this type of thing already that I missed. I went back through the last 5 pages and didn't see anything that seemed to fit it and am unsure of what I would need to search for to look through that function.
Past that, I am a Mathematics major at a small public college in Nebraska (CSC) and I wanted to ask about what I should take that isn't offered at my college to better my understanding of the field and to hopefully be prepared to enter a masters program elsewhere.
I have taken...
Calc 1, 2, 3
History and Foundations of Mathematics (light intro to logic and set theory)
Number Theory (included basic principles of cryptology)
I am taking:
Differential equations
College Geometry (geared towards high school math teachers)
I will take:
Probability and Statistics
Elementary Linear Algebra
Modern Algebra
Introductory Analysis
Operations Research (game theory and the like, statistics subset)
and possibly a statistics course on sampling techniques as it seems potentially useful.
This is every single math class that is not teaching certification oriented that the college offers except for theory of statistics (which I may pick up for the fun of it anyway).
Also I am currently talking with one of my teachers about doing independent graduate study in partial DE's which isn't a standard offering by the school but which he specifically studied.
Is there anything I should be looking to take elsewhere to fill in gaps here? I know that there are always 'more' things to study in Math but I am not in a position to be aware of what I should or should not have moving forward.
Anything that I could not take through some sort of online course (which I have done for math classes before due to my work (number theory and calc 3)) would have to wait until after I finish my degree. But considering the fact that I am 30 years old and have full-time employment there is no pressing need for me to jump from undergrad to graduate work if I need to take a semester off to self study. My only concern for that is in it not appearing in a transcript when I apply to another school.
And from out in the middle of a corn field in Nebraska... Thanks.
(Well in the middle of town, but town is surrounded by corn!)
