All MA 502 takers (Fall) unite.

Who else is taking it this term?

We can gather here to discuss hw and clear any other difficulties.

Open to everyone, this thread is especially for people taking it through EOL, because we won't have live access to the prof like others.

BTW, I am taking it from outside the US.

I ordered the book from Amazon and paid $160 (120 for book and 40 for shipping ).

"Determinants and matrices; line and surface integrals, integral theorems; complex integrals and residues; distribution functions of probability. "

Sounds like fun, except for the part about matrices.

just a heads up...
this is NOTHING like undergrad linear algebra (which was cake). this class is tough.
good luck!
