Choosing math courses is one of the most important aspects of being a math major, though these choices are often quite difficult. Upon entering Princeton, many math majors do not know which areas of math to explore. Even for those who have decided this question, it is often not apparent which courses to take and in what order. Moreover, there are always questions of which courses it is feasible to take simultaneously, which courses overlap in material covered, what knowledge does one need before taking a course, and many others.
The goal of this course guide is to provide information to help math majors make these decisions. Before this course guide was compiled, the available sources of information were the registrar's Course Offerings and the math department's undergraduate courses page. These two are important information sources, and every math major should consult them. This course guide supplements these sources by bringing in the student's perspective. All of the information presented here is taken from the experiences math majors have had taking these courses.
Princeton's Math Department is often lauded as one of the very best in the world. Now you can see how they approach the study of the subject there.

...are the people who had parents and older siblings in higher education.
cant beat that wwith hard work.
then there were those who were part of demo teams for the amiga and early pc.
they were amongs the brightest people i have ever met.
you need a good tutor, or have to find the right context that makes you ask the questions math is the answer to.
then there is hard work for the sake of hard work, but that is the category "people with good grades that one cant talk to".
all else is bullshit.

Or you can just have that sort of a brain. Like martyb's brain just spits out absurd ways to treat my wonderfully crafted code that no sane person would even think of. It bothers me a little when he has a low success rate. Means he's been reawakening my inner blackhat or the bugs he's looking for would be there.
