Hello,
Just a quick update. I have been making my way though Sophia course at the moment. It is Easter here and work is very quite so I have been able to make a big dent in this.
My original plan would have been to move onto OMSCS/OMSA Georgia Tech. However after working through a lot of math and computer science classes. I can concluded that I prefer the more math heavy classes. Based on this I am looking into a masters program in Applied and Computational Mathematics at my local university (UiB - University of Bergen). This masters would be free/ close to no cost, which is nice.
I am thinking that the two/double degree of Mathematics and Computer Science from TESU is still my best plan of action. Making the most of the ECTS from Metropolia and ROI. However I do have some questions.
The masters I am considering has some requirements for what classes they expect from a degree in mathematics. At least 70 ECTS (35 ish Credits) which includes the following:
- Calculus I,II,III
- Linear Algebra
- Differential Equations
- Functions of several Variables
- Programming (Already covered from the CS side of my plan)
- One of the following: Numerics/ Analysis/ Mechanics/ Advanced Differential Equations/ Statistics
From my initial pass through the options from TESU I would be lacking in some of these higher level math classes. What would be a good way to make this work? I guess I can find these classes from another school and transfer them in as RA credit?
How is the workload with the flat rate plan at TESU? I want to set myself up for success. I am able to work hard and put in the effort but I want to be realistic about what is achievable in a 12 week block. If I have many higher level math / cs courses all together I think this would be difficult, as I would still need to work a full time along side this.
I have attached a copy of what I have done so far and outlined based on the Wiki pages. Things in green are classes I have already completed. I have a lot of credit from Metropolia that is not on the plan as I am not sure where it goes. When is it a good idea to start to evaluate and see what I have left to-do and what does get accepted?
Thanks again for all your help. I still cant quite grasp that this is going to happen and that by the end of next year I could have a degree.
