mathematics

<p>i want to double major with math and maybe biology…</p>

<p>so, how is the math program at sd?</p>

<p>how possible is it to do this?</p>

<p>(i have 5/6 of the lower division math courses taken care of already)</p>

<p>i dunno, i guess its your typical bad accented math teachers. since ucsd is more focused as a science school, i think the math department is really lacking in good teachers. im sure there are some out there, i just ahvent taken them yet. but then again since they are such bad teachers the curves are fairly easy soooo its taken at your own risk.</p>

<p>if you wanna dbl major then you can easily just declare it and then start taking the classes that will satisfy your majors. it’s not too difficult. depending on your major, like bio you can take the 10 series of math, but your math major might require the 20 series. just look at the requirements and satisfy them. (btw, 10 series goes a-c while 20 series goes a-f, which is probably required for math majors). if you become a math major you’re probably gonna end up in classes with a lot of warren kids cuz their engineering majors will force them to take all of 20 series too.</p>

<p>yeah the only 20 series requirement i haven’t met is 20e</p>

<p>So you get to take vector calculus… Fun… </p>

<p>Doubling with math shouldn’t be that bad, especially since most of the math degrees are BA and you have already finished a lot of the lower division courses (are you sure that they transfer??)</p>

<p>yeah cc courses in linear algebra and diffy q’s</p>

<p>and then 5 on bc calc exam (took calc 2 online through Stanford’s EPGY program)</p>

<p>and yeah, i took vector calculus at cc and dropped out because i was really busy, so at least i have a little bit of experience in it…</p>

<p>now here’s another question for any students at ucsd:</p>

<p>my major is applied math, but i want to switch it to applied math and science, and it looks like you can take that degree a lot of ways…could i take a bunch of bioengineering courses as long as that is my major? is that a bad idea?</p>

<p>If you can’t satisfy a major breadth, don’t fill up your unit cap.</p>

<p>so math is bad at UCSD? man =\ i expected UCSD to have good math teachers especially because they’re good at the sciences.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Then stop talking.</p>

<p>UCSD’s Graduate Math Department hovers in and out of the Top 20 USNEWS rankings the past few years; though you’re looking for information about Undergraduate programs, UCSD’s undergraduate program is still upper-tier and only imperative to a handful of other public schools.</p>
