I thought my son’s advisor would be ok given that she’s in the math department but I have no way to gage that. She seems gung ho on taking lots of classes and going sophomore, but my son might just stick with four classes a semester. Honestly, he’s loving MIT and his friends and social life and probably (ha-ha) not spending enough time in class.

shravas, my son did study analysis in high school using Bartle’s Elements of Real Analysis, but I don’t know if that’s a good text or not. He was talking about taking number theory, probability and random variables, and topology as his next three classes. I think he’s interested in statistics as an emphasis, but that could change as he’s mentioned doing the 18C major now.
