Thank you, Kart! This is helping me decide whether to stay at Purdue, having flown from the West Coast as an incoming freshman and now entering my second semester.

Fact: You can replace CS 182 with MA 375 if you want. This is especially good if you have covered a decent amount of the calc sequence, since MA 375 has a pre-req of Calc III, while CS 182 has a pre-req of Cal I. Note that, even though Calc III is a pre-req, it is not actually used, but you will need to talk to the professor teaching the course for permission.

If you would like to consider grad school take CS 584 (or 585) during your junior/senior years. They will make you re-consider your intelligence for grad classes..
