<p>As fall scheduling is coming up, I was wondering whether or not to take these two courses concurrently. I already took Calc III in high school, but I think this may be too hard. Thoughts?</p>
<p>Shouldn’t be. What else are you taking? What’s your major?</p>
<p>i’m actually a business major, but since there’s no math forum I figured this would be the best place to post</p>
<p>How good are you with proofs? </p>
<p>Number Theory, at least when I took the class dealt mainly with abstract concepts and tons of proofs.</p>
<p>I’m okay with them, although I like more of the quant stuff</p>
<p>Number Theory is really proof-based. Most people tend to have a tough time with it when they start. You should definitely do Calc III though.</p>
<p>If not number theory, try something like Real Analysis, since it really puts you into an analytical mindset, and help you with your proof-writing immensely.</p>
<p>If you just want more quantitative courses, are you allowed to take Differential Equations (without a calc III pre-requisite)? That will be a lot less pure math.</p>
<p>I can’t take either of those courses without Calc III first, but the three choices I do have (to double up w/Calc III) are:</p>
<p>Discrete Math (This is the easiest course one can take in the department)
Transformations & Geometry
Number Theory</p>
