We had Complex Variables by Stephen D. Fisher.
I'll have to decide what class I want to take later this year between Complex Analysis and something called "The Quantum World" which is explained as this "It surveys the physical principles, mathematical techniques and interpretation of quantum theory. The Schrödinger equation, the uncertainty principle, the exclusion principle, fermions and bosons, measurement probabilities, entanglement, perturbation theory and transition rates are all discussed. Applications include atoms, molecules, nuclei, solids, scanning tunnelling microscopy and quantum cryptography". I was leaning towards the latter but what do you guys think?

That class sounds really fun! (I'm not joking.)

The Quatum one? Yeah, I thought so, too.

So it's something your girlfriend cares about, but you don't?

Ehhh I'd go with Complex analysis, but I'm biased since I've already had quantum and you could easily learn all that on your own.

Well, I have to learn either myself, as I do distance learning, so if you think quantum might be easier to pass, that might be a point in its favour.

Since you were not very forthcoming with any information I assumed you were talking about your girlfriend.

Oh, you can definitely pass quantum.

I'm not sure how interesting quantum theory will be without mathematical modeling and it seems to cover quite a lot which makes me uncertain of the depth of analysis. I personally would go with "the quantum world" in your shoes based of that description though.

You're acting like it's cocaine. If you're that desperate for your fix you may start off with my signature.
