For the courses below, 310 is a prerequisite of 336, which is a prerequisite of 395. An optimized study plan for these courses is to take 310 in the sophomore year, 336 in the junior year, and 395 in the senior year. After you have taken 336, I also have research projects available for you for course credits.
- I am teaching this course this quarter:
