Favorite next semester class

[Anonymous No.7442780]

What class are you most excited for next semester /sci/?

I'm taking an intro to linear algebra course. Excited to see what all the fuss is about, plus it will allow me to get into a mathematical econ course that I want the semester after.

8.01 classical mechanics

[Anonymous No.7442782]

>>7442781
Is that an introductory classical mechanics or like the graduate school tier class?

I hate it when they name the courses the same when one is for graduates and one is for undergrads. Confusing when scheduling.

Plenty of grad programs have a classical mechanics course that incoming PhD's take I believe. I've heard that these sorts of classes are not introductory at all, and pretty much cover every relevant topic in the course of a semester.

Pretty brutal.

I would look into Scala, or Haskell. Though it can be done in any language. I am inclined to using C++11 which added useful features for functional programming to C++.
