On Reddit: "ignoring the crazy title, if you have the option not to, don’t bother. I had to do real analysis and did complex to avoid doing PFI since I did a math diploma. If you’re doing elec eng, you will have a fair few “that makes sense” moments since you learn abt residue theorem, zero…"
On Reddit: "VC and DMOR are fairly easy. These classes are very similar in difficulty to calc2/LA. Teaching of dmor was shit, totally ruined the class for me. However was very cruisy. Itll open up classes like decision making and tech in OR. While VC will open up geometry, some physics clas…"
