I'm currently a rising junior at Boston University, and I'm still trying to figure out my schedule for next term. I'm a dual CS/Math major, so I have some requirements I need to take, but I also want to focus my classwork on quant-related material.
I've taken the following:
Discrete Math
Abstract Algebra
Multivariable
Linear Algebra
Data Structures
Combinatoric Structures
Computer Systems
Distributed Systems
Next term for sure I am taking: Probability, Optimization Methods of Operation Research (linear programming, linear functions), and Concepts of Programming Languages.
My issue is whether to take Advanced Calculus (using Kaplan's Advanced Calculus book) or Introduction to Analysis (using Principles of Mathematical Analysis by Rudin). I have to take one of the two, and it's sequential course, as a requirement (so next term I'd take Complex Variables or Into to Analysis 2). I'd like to take Advanced Calculus, but doing so would keep me from taking Differential Equations due to scheduling conflicts (which I know, but just haven't taken yet for my requirement). Taking Differentials would be overloading for me, but I'd like to get it out of the way sooner rather than later in case of any future scheduling conflicts.
Any suggestions on which one I should take? (Suggestions for future math/cs courses are also welcome)
