Most valuable Math class you took?

Of course in the real world, much of you education isn’t taken advantage of. My point is that a sound understanding of mathematics will really help with your upper division courses.

For example, I skipped over ODEs and nearly died during a Control class, since I wasn’t really used to Laplace transformations. Also in thermo, its nice to know how to manipulate any of the state equations to a new equation based on a constraint (constant volume or etc). I remember at times when the proff was like “Now simply take a surface integral of this equation an you get…” and I was like what?
