I'm only 2 classes away from my degree so maybe I should drop some of these and save the money for grad school. Also I'm super jelly that your school offers a course in Set Theory.

>>4834563

Set theory is a prereq for topology where I go...

Taking a fifth year. Some administration issues came up, but looks like i'm going to be graduating with an extra 27 credits... Will use the year to do my advanced microeconomics, econometrics, honors RA 1 and 2 (already did regular stream), maybe some further computers, maybe some abstract algebra, maybe some further stats... Throw a soft option in there like philosophy... And there's my degree..

(wanting to to grad school economics)

>> No.4834684

>>4834643
We have a short intro to mathematical logic that's a prereq for every pure math class but that's it. In topology we briefly discuss the axiom of choice. Really there is not much focus on mathematical logic and set theory at all in my university which is a shame because they're what I'm most interest in. Operator theory is big here which is kinda cool I guess. You're taking some pretty hefty math for an econ major, set theory and topology that is.

^ that's a list of all chemistry faculty members and the research they do. If you're interested in any professor's research, send them an email asking if they're interested in research assistants in the fall. That's really all you can do.

Also, if Ph.D is your goal, get your GPA as high as you can and go into a non-terminal master's program for a year then apply. Plenty of people do that.
