Math courses to take
Hey guys, I’m an incoming freshman at Princeton University majoring in math and minoring in cs with goals of getting into quant.
What kind of math pathway should I take during my time at Princeton? Like theoretical vs applied
For reference, the highest level of math I’ve taken so far is AP Calc BC (essentially Calc II minus a few topics)
Also I’m not HARD SET on quant… it’s definitely my number 1 pick for what I want to do , but I’m willing to pivot if needed… don’t give me the talk about how “you shouldn’t be hard stuck on becoming a quant, etc”
I get to choose between a lot of courses but rn I’m between these courses:
MAT215: Single Variable Analysis with an Introduction to Proofs
MAT214: an introduction to number theory (expected to have strong algebra)
MAT104: Calc II
MAT201: Multivariable Calculus
