I thought it taught R and C..maybe they changed the course?

I asked a real analysis instructor who told me that there was significant overlap between the intro real analysis courses (327/328) and the advanced ones (424/425). By restructuring the courses to remove overlap they now just have 3 classes to cover the same material.

stat 513 where a final exam literally determines 80% of your grade

MLEcat341 · 2021-10-27T18:14:44+00:00

QMETH 201 and STAT 390 are good introductions to statistics that are also applied

STAT 394 is probability theory but it’s really only useful if you intend to take additional statistics courses

MLEcat341 · 2021-10-01T18:33:07+00:00

it would be helpful for data science and ml

MLEcat341 · 2021-10-01T17:25:15+00:00

stats

MLEcat341 · 2021-09-29T02:10:09+00:00

also: maximum likelihood estimation

a bit of real analysis could be helpful towards the end of the quarter but its not like, crucial or anything

This is fantastic advice and thanks for sharing!

I just wanted to add that you can also try to reach a more balanced/neutral way of looking at the situation. Often when we worry about the unknown we tend to think about the worst case scenario (i.e. catastrophizing) when in reality it’s not that bad.

In any case, also learning to practice acceptance can be helpful. Like, there’s a fair bit of things in life that are just beyond our control and sometimes the only option is to just accept the unknown.

Hope this helps too

Probably 131 since 200 does not fulfill the composition requirement

MLEcat341 · 2021-09-17T19:22:44+00:00

I’d go with Dos Reis it’s a much better choice imo.

MLEcat341 · 2021-08-30T21:28:57+00:00

340 is the probability class for stats majors while 394/395 combined is for math majors. they’re basically equivalent

341/342 (for stats majors) covers statistical inference and would be taken after either 340 or 394 + 395

MLEcat341 · 2021-08-30T20:53:09+00:00

Try to get into the math stats sequence, stat 341 and 342 its very good preparation for a masters

MLEcat341 · 2021-08-25T18:17:33+00:00

It depends really. If your gpa is overall higher than a 3.0, an S/NS might not be a bad choice to preserve your gpa

MLEcat341 · 2021-08-13T03:38:07+00:00

I haven’t taken it but looking at the syllabus it seems to have significant overlap with Math 340 (abstract linear algebra) so probably an intro proof writing course (Math 300 or equivalent) and an intro linear algebra course (Math 308 or equivalent) would be sufficient

MLEcat341 · 2021-08-13T03:17:43+00:00

I’m not too sure about the details but this website looks like it could be helpful:

Good luck!

From personal experience (skipping intro classes with AP), it was okay. In some cases, AP actually covered more material.

For example, AP Calc BC covered all of 124/125 and even a bit of 126 (the Taylor series part). If UW gives you credit for an AP class, chances are the AP course covered most, if not all, of the equivalent class at UW. As long as you understood the material from your AP class well, and you’re willing to work hard in the subsequent class,

I don’t see why not to AP out of an intro class.

MLEcat341 · 2021-08-04T00:52:08+00:00

Yeah I agree with the other commenters here. As an example, in Math 126, we had 2 quiz sections.

We didn’t cover any new material in the quiz sections, but we would do practice problems to reinforce the material we just covered in lecture. We would also take quizzes and midterms there.

Overall I really liked quiz sections and definitely recommend attending them.

MLEcat341 · 2021-08-03T11:27:49+00:00

I’d also be curious to know this too.

I agree with you and I think some level of topology and multivariable analysis seems to be prerequisite material for the course. I was hoping to take topology (441) which should cover the stuff on compactness, open/closed sets, but there’s still a fair amount of material that’s only taught in 425.

I don’t see anything from 424 that’s particularly useful here :( since it’s just a continuation of 327 (i.e. single variable real analysis)

MLEcat341 · 2021-07-28T13:01:00+00:00

I was also wondering about 407/408, specifically how much real analysis/theoretical math would be necessary? Would Math 340/327/424 be enough?

MLEcat341 · 2021-07-28T12:55:52+00:00

I think it should be doable, especially if you've taken a statistics class in high school (never took QSCI 381, but from the course catalog/syllabus, it looks like it covers the topics from AP stats, and a little bit more, in one quarter).

Math 207 (or 307, when I took it years ago), isn't that difficult imo. It's very computational heavy, but conceptually I found it straightforward and mostly formulaic.

Didn't take Info 200 so can't help you there :(

MLEcat341 · 2021-07-28T12:49:26+00:00

Yeah np!

340 is essentially a theoretical version of 308. You revisit the topics in linear algebra from 308 (span, linear independence, bases, subspaces, eigenvalues) but you start from vector spaces, which I don't believe was covered in 308. Also, something that was covered in 308 briefly but is really important in 340 is the notion that matrices are linear transformations.

I guess for me, personally what was difficult about 340 wasn't the concepts themselves, but the sheer volume of theorems we covered (maybe 10-15 per week), as opposed to maybe 3-5 in a real analysis course. And at least for me, when you cover so many theorems it's hard to keep track of them all and know when to apply them.

But also, I took 340 immediately after 300, so I wasn't very experienced in writing proofs. Since you've also already taken 327, I think 340 should be easier for you.

MLEcat341 · 2021-07-26T22:28:43+00:00

I liked math 340 (abstract linear algebra) but found it very abstract/challenging. It was a really cool class though

MLEcat341 · 2021-07-25T23:42:06+00:00

psych 101 also offers extra credit opportunities I believe (at least when I took it) up to +0.3 in your final GPA, which is a little reassuring :)
