Courses which I wish I had taken | 4 comments (2 topical, 0 hidden)
[new] I constantly take courses (none / 0) (#3)
by sormani on Sun Sep 18, 2005 at 07:38:01 PM PDT

I've been taking about one course a year since I got my PhD.  Usually I take a special topics class in my subject area offered at a nearby university: Geometric Measure Theory, Mean Curvature Flow, Ricci Flow etc etc.  

I wanted to learn some probability so I did an independant study with a student over the summer.  I don't like teaching while learning but an independant study helped me iron out any issues and give me someone to talk to.  Next I'll take some graduate probability.

I wanted to learn some general relativity and attended a few classes but was bored and just finished the textbook on my own.  Then I went on to a textbook designed for mathematicians learning the subject which was much better.  

I've taken foreign languages and other fun courses for the first few weeks of a semester, just sitting in.
