I have the option of choosing the following modules. Which would you recommend with a reason?

Mathematical methods and fluid mechanics​

Complex analysis​

Applications of probability​

Graphs, networks and design​

Optimization​


Thanks.

It's hard to rank the courses in matters of importance because they are all important and have different applications. However, I would lean towards optimization as an essential and exciting course.

Reason: It's the mathematics of finding an optimal (best) solution from all feasible solutions. Optimization application ranges from mechanics, economics and finance, operation research, machine learning, etc. I find its application invaluable and relevant, especially for an aspiring quant.

Fact: I took an operation research class as an undergraduate and loved it.

That's what I was leaning towards but the others seem applicable too such as probability and graphs.

Here's what I think you should do in this case: Compare the courses that interest you the most and make trade-offs. That way, you know the pros and cons of choosing or not choosing a particular course relative to the goal (concepts you want to grasp or master) you have that semester.

I wish you the best.
 
I took applications of probability, mathematical statistics and 2 less interesting ones. btw nice to see more people from OU
