Most Helpful Courses: Multivariable, Diff. EQ, Comp 150 all helped me prepare for the math side of what I do, as well as the programming I tend to do.   Also, Physics 311, 321, and 411 for the physics I’m still learning.

Courses Wish Taken: I wish I had a chance to take more linear algebra classes, because it comes up a lot in upper (grad) level physics
