3rd Year Maths Modules

Hello,

I am going into my third year of Maths (Bsc) at uni and was wondering if anyone had any module recommendations/things they particularly enjoyed? Not too sure what to pick as I'm super indecisive haha

I liked Operational Research and Statistics based modules as well as Finance. I didn't do any Mechanics this year so I don't think I'm going to in third year as I think I'd find it quite tough. I definitely want to do the full year project as I love coursework and find it more straight forward than 100% exam (which is most maths modules lol).

It sounds like you have a good sense of what you might want to take; I'm not really sure what you're expecting of this thread but it seems like you should choose from:

-Full year project
-Stochastic Processes for Finance and Insurance
-Multivariate Data Analysis
-Statistical Modelling
-Time Series
-Algorithms and Heuristics
-Optimization
-Game theory
-Behavioural Finance
