Maybe I can clear things up for you: that's a bad program.
Jose Jones
holy kek nice meme degree
Camden Davis
>4th year >real analysis, complex analysis, and abstract algebra KEK
Julian Howard
Any substance behind your claims?
Jordan Thomas

Oliver Bennett
I don't understand. Why is it called a "Bachelor of Arts" degree, if it's mathematics? Is that an American thing? Here in Canada, I think it would either be a bachelor of science or bachelor of mathematics, depending on the institution. Am I wrong?
Gabriel Ramirez
Here a bachelor's of arts offers more elective than a bachelor's of science.
It will allow you to take less pure math courses and more applied Math, data analysis, and statistics courses.
Carter Rivera
How the absolute fuck did you get to 4th year without taking at least real analysis? What have you been doing for 3 years? I'm seriously curious what math subjects you've taken so far.
Jack Moore
Rudin is the standard analysis text, but Abbott is a good place to start if you aren't ready for Rudin-tier proposition-theorem-proof reading
David Carter
Thank you for the first real response.
I've focused alot on statistics and data analysis as I'm planning on going into data science or actuary.
Learning SAS, R Python, theoretical statistics etc, With all of that being done I only have the three math courses left.
Luke Evans
Actuarial is overrated. There's few entry level positions and you max out in your mid 30s with little room for advancement
Brayden Hill
Fuck, man, I lost it at some of the electives: >MATH 133. Number Theory for Liberal Studies >MATH 134. Geometry for Liberal Studies WHAT THE FUCK AM I READING
Wyatt Cox
subjects I've taken without Real Analysis: Combinatorics, Vector Calc, DE, Dynamical Systems, Number Theory, Abstract Algebra, Math Modelling, stochastic processes only place in canada with bmath is waterloo, we have bs and ba math too.
Ryder Thompson
I agree the math program here offers alot of flexibility, most go into teaching so that's where the liberal studies comes from.
The classes for science and applied mathematics are offered though, so you just have to choose your classes wisely.
Jackson Rivera
not true
carleton in ottawa and windsor also give out bmaths
Carson Reyes
Kinda unrelated, but I hate the concept of offering watered down courses for people who just want to go into teaching. It makes my blood boil that we're sending the dud students who weren't good enough to keep up with everyone else to teach future generations.
Lincoln Walker
Lol. You should check out the Masters in math for teaching. That'll make you explode
Blake Gonzalez
This. What the fuck OP you should've taken real analysis by second year at least, what have you been doing with your life?
Ayden Sanchez
It's not like any body has high-expectations for the kids coming out of those public schools.
The smartest ones self-study and a shitty/lazy teacher gives them more free time for autodidactic study.
But we have too many professionals anyway and the kids coming out of top-tier/private schools more than fills the need.
Daniel Cook
What the fuck is this?
>1.5 years to complete calculus 1-3 >taking linear algebra in your third fucking year
Jesus Christ this is atrocious. What a fucking worthless piece of shit.
You've been totally conned.
No wonder Americans believe that majoring in maths means the only job you can get is as a highschool teacher when their maths degrees at average universities are like this.
Lincoln King
I don't see what's wrong with that?
Also what are your degrees/pursuits?
Nathan Davis
Lol at this thread
>>Itt Europoors who can't deal with the fact that even a perfectly average American university is better than anything they have in New Sha'ria.
Christian Diaz
I studied Maths and statistics.
What's most wrong with it is that linear algebra should be finished by second year.
are we supposed to know what the fuck these numbers are?
And no, real analysis is a first or second year course. You really can't do any math without it.
James Moore
>real analysis >last year
WTF? How did you do any other course without analysis?
Zachary Carter
In America these numbers are universal. So Math 3A is Calc I, 3B is Calc II, 4A is Linear Algebra, 4B is Differential Equations, etc.
Jacob Harris
It should look like this
Jason Bennett
I don't understands this. I go to a provincial university and I need to take 3 real and 2 complex analysis courses. And that's not for a pure math degree, but an applied math degree.
OP, what fucking university do you go to?
Austin Reyes
Abstract algebra is a really fun class. One of my favorites. Real analysis is kind of boring but not too hard. Complex analysis is a bit hard.
Owen Russell
That's over 20 units a semester which is insane
Brandon Hill
You literally only need college level Calculus to teach high school math. Everything else -- you'll never teach in high school anyway. What's the big deal?
Samuel Bailey
>taking the bare minimum credit load
damn brainlets
Christian Diaz
This thread is triggering me guys.
So I'm a former chemistry major who switched to math at the end of my third year, which sets me back a whole year in terms of being able to graduate. As a chemistry major I had to complete the calculus sequence. How can I make best use of the two years I have left?
Levi Rodriguez
>1.5 years to complete calculus 1-3 How the fuck else are you supposed to do it?
John Perez
In high school like the rest of the human world.
Kayden Adams
this. You really ought to have done Calc 1-3 and Linear Algebra in hs
Andrew Perry
Wtf? Real analysis and abstract algebra are sophomore level classes. Did you fail a year, or something?
Lucas Hughes
even my very average canadian university has an analysis class in 2nd year. OP's university is garbage
Jonathan Cooper
I have hobbies that I don't wanna give up
Jonathan Butler
>wanting to do that much work.
even if it isn't intellectually challenging for you, 20 credits is still a fuck ton of reports.
Nathaniel Peterson
Tbh it's true many smaller universities in the US are trash. I went to one before I transferred. The department doesn't give a shit, their analysis class consisted of a professor taking a week to show a closed bounded interval is compact.
Real Analysis(as in measure theory, lebesgue integration, etc) is 4th year but Advanced Calculus should be 3rd year.
Honestly calculus should be taught with college algebra, there is no need to make a separate trig and college algebra class.
Isaac Nguyen
>One (!) math subject per semester I'd probably kill myself.
Brandon Williams
in america "real analysis" means measure theory and they do introucotry analysis (uniform continuity, etc. ) in calculus 1-3.
at least, I hope it does.
Jacob Campbell
this is the biggest misunderstanding anytime this comes up. most schools around me real analysis is a 3rd year course.
Charles Jones
Then which kind of analysis is it confused with?
Asher Hughes
>4th year of university study >intermediate math analysis 1
that better mean at least functional analysis.
Jaxon Long
>Muh IQ
Go away, kid.
Jace Foster
Well, the fact of the matter is that all the good staff definitely leaves such a faculty.
Holy shit, I'm an EE and we had more math in the first two years. OP has to be a troll.
