Yep!  Lots of freedom here.  Most Universities as far as I know allow you take whatever, as long as you meet the prerequisites.  

But sometimes they have prerequisites that you have to be in a particular program.  :P
But I've only seen that at my fiance's university.  For Physics I probably won't even be part of the program until I'm pretty much finished.  Or maybe I'll apply to graduate and no one will even know.  lol

I might decide not to take Japanese or PDE this fall.  It's a super heavy course load, so I'm not really sure.  :P

4th?  What do you know?  

QuoteThis course is an introduction to the field of artificial intelligence. It is a survey of classical
search in artificial intelligence and machine learning and an in-depth examination of a specific
application area such as robotics, theorem proving, computer vision, natural language
processing, etc. Students are expected to demonstrate mastery via computer programs using the
techniques of artificial intelligence.

Hmmmmm, hopefully the class will be good.

English, Spanish, and the language from my game. Only fluent in English.

That sounds like a totally different system to our Universities here. What are the programs you're talking about?

I'm not sure what I was expecting

Basically you can apply to a University and say I'm going for Physics or I'm going for Math, or you can even just say you're undeclared.  If you are declared, you're put into that program.  The physics program, the math program, etc.  

You can easily take classes outside your program, and even are required to take some.  

But at my fiance's school, some of her higher up classes require her to be part of the Dietetic program.

That sounds like a really good system tbh. At our universities you just have to apply for a course and you do whatever topics are on that course. Some courses have a list of options and you pick a few of them to do but if you were doing physics then they'd all be physics topics.

There's a few courses which are more flexible and allow you to pick up topics from other courses but that's more rare.

Some people would probably prefer just prefer just taking all the classes in their department, but I much prefer this set up.  :D

Double antiderivatives. :P they are a real pain switching boundaries for me.

Easy problem here:

Polar coordinates are kinda cool.
(x,y)
In order to define every point in rectangular coordinates you need (-infinity,+infinity) for both the x and the y.   But with polar, you can define every point for r with just the positive numbers [0,+infinity), and for theta, just between [0, 2pi)  Seems like madness. :o
