<p>I’m taking an intro to electrical engineering course right now, and I think I’m more interested in analog design than digital. I was wondering can I still do analog design as a computer engineer or should I try to switch to electrical engineering?</p>
<p>I finished all the requirements for a pure math major and physics minor, and it seems like there is more interesting math involved in analog design than digital design. Although, I do see how things like abstract algebra could probably be useful in digital design.</p>
<p>Although this depends on your individual program, analog design would fall under the EE category. I think you’re making an excellent choice, as good analog designers are in high demand and I think a skilled analog designer can understand the digital concepts fairly easily, while the converse is not necessarily true.</p>
<p>what other math classes might be useful to take for analog design?</p>
<p>I’ve taken linear algebra, differential equations, and complex analysis. I was looking at fourier analysis, functional analysis, or partial differential equations. I think I will be able to take one course.</p>
<p>I’m not too sure. I don’t think you need that much additional math- any mathematics background that is necessary will either be a prerequisite, or developed in the analog courses themselves. You might want to brush up on your vector calculus though, if you get into RF design.</p>
