[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can't speak to anywhere but UChicago, but the Math 183-185 sequence, which is applied math for anyone going into exact sciences, is fantastic for students who want mastery and are willing to do 20 hours / week on problem sets minimum. The point is--you're actually going to learn this stuff if you put in the work. It's basically all of freshman year and 1/3 of sophomore year. The only issue is that it's hard to go from that to being a Math major because they really tailor it for other majors.[/quote] The Chicago 183 sequence is for STEM capable kids. It’s advanced math methods as a tool which will help you do your quantum or stat mech problem sets. But it is far from the math that a math major at UChicago or anywhere else would find interesting or research worthy. They aren’t in the same universe. [/quote] 100%, IBL or Honors analysis is the better path for math students.[/quote]
