Coding question

[davv]

So I am deciding upon classes for the next half year, and I'm having a bit of a difficulty deciding... so I thought I would ask here.

What do you think would be most interesting to learn about - functional programming or GPGPU programming? I know just about the same amount about each.

(I'm leaning in one direction, but still haven't quite decided.)

Linear algebra is quite useful, so pay particular attention to it. Loads of problems take place in some multi-dimensional vector space, often infinite-dimensional ones, and are greatly simplified by some change of basis. It's probably more useful than the sections of calculus you'd be at by now (basic vector calculus, I guess?).

The irony is that it won't be until the advanced classes that you get to the areas of mathematics that you already know well, like fractal sets and dynamical chaos...
