don’t mean to detract from the conversation, but isn’t math 55 just elementary algebra and analysis? surely this is insufficient at the vast majority of schools

don’t mean to detract from the conversation, but isn’t math 55 just elementary algebra and analysis? surely this is insufficient at the vast majority of schools to constitute a math degree
- gmadsen 5y agoalgebra, analysis, topology. That is about what the average mathematics curriculum consists of. Maybe we have different definitions of average, which seems to be a hacker news bias, schools in the top 40 are not average by definition , but many many schools offering math degrees don't even offer classes beyond that level.
- hnrj95 5y ago> different definitions fair enough. certainly some bias from me, here but, i’d still be stunned if introductory algebra, analysis at a baby/papa rudin level, and some point set topology would be sufficient enough to be called a math degree
