I would personally go with numerical analysis.

I'm just wondering if numerical analysis is something one can learn on their own. I'll also have to be taking electives and I'm wondering if I can pick it up on my own ("Numerical methods in EE").

My good fellow, you are a physics major with a math minor? I would think it's pretty obvious to do some differential geometry. A bunch of graduate level texts will be written in that language. Well at least mechanics type stuff.

Of course, PDE's will likely be useful for any physics/engineering major too.

I would def. go for Diff. Geometry over numerical analysis though. It'll be more fun
