This quarter, I'm taking :

• Mathematical Methods : Laplace transforms, Fourier transforms, Greens functions, and their applications to partial differential equations.
• Quantum Mechanics: Again. For the heck of it.
• Numerical Methods: Analysis of the performance, stability and error propagation of numerical algorithms in finite precision systems.

So far, it's way more fun than last quarter. Still, I'm disappointed that the molecular structures course I wanted to take conflicts with numerical methods. Hopefully I can take it next quarter.

The preliminary exam for mathematical methods is in the middle of finals week at the end of this quarter. That is going to suck.
