Classes

I've worked out a class schedule for fall:

MASC 106 Physical Oceanography
MASC 151 Fluid Dynamics
MATH 191 Scientific Computation I
MASC 205 How to Give a Seminar

MATH 191 and MASC 151 are both supposed to be very hard.

(UNC has a seriously wacky course numbering system. Undergraduate courses are numbered < 100, except when they aren't. I think they run out of 2-digit numbers, so sometimes they have to use numbers over 100 for undergrad courses, though all the above are graduate-level. MASC stands for Marine Sciences.)

I'll also be TA'ing for MASC 154 Estuarine and Coastal Marine Sciences, which is taken mostly by undergraduates in environmental science and technology.

There is some possibility that Geological Oceanography will be taught this fall, in which case my advisor says "there will be pressure" to take it instead of the math class. I plan to resist the pressure if at all possible, since I can take geo from the coast by videoconference if necessary.
