How to opt out of the Karma System

Well really I am both a pure and applied at the minute, I havent decided which way i am going to specialise yet, ive got an offer that lets me pick and choose a mix of science and maths modules, as well as chuck some things in from arts. What subject did you do at college/uni?

Just finished up an MS in computer science.
Didn't manage to impress anyone enough
to get into the PhD program (well - turned
down the one person, but it wouldn't
have worked).
Had strongly considered trying for the doctorate
in Mathematics though.

Your button pushing habit makes you sound suited for a career as an accupuncturist.

Rather be put in a position of authority at NORAD,
to tell the truth.

Yeah. His side of it.
Kinda disgusts me,
but whatever.

Cool, I am probably going to do quite a bit of Computer Science modules. What did you make of CompSci. How can you do a doctorate in mathematics straight from a computer science degree, i thought computer science only covered the discrete aspects of maths?

I have some math background,
and departments are willing to
help someone get up to speed.
Oddly, probably the thing that I
MOST need is linear algebra (odd
because many CS students pick this
up just for the graphics usage).
Things like real analysis are pretty much
required, for upper level computer science,
(as is graph theory, though essentially discrete),
and there is a strong emphasis here on both
abstract algebra and formal logic. Hell, I nearly
to category theory. :laugh:

The thing with the linear you learn in computer science, if its for transformations, is that you only go up to 3x3 matrices. Linear algebra is quite easy to do though, if you have a reasonable textbook you could teach yourself.
What other bits are you missing asides your linear?
