Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aber" data-source="post: 256855" data-attributes="member: 30028">Tough choice but I would have gone with Linear Algebra 2 if the choice should be purely strategically and not based on personal preferences.From the top of my head, I will say linear algebra 2 will be more useful for your advanced stats courses than real analysis 2 will be for stochastic calculus courses. I am not quite sure but I don’t think MFE programs are too theoretical and I think that you will be able to do fine without knowledge of sigma algebra and Lebesgue integration even in stochastic calculus classes.On the other hand Linear Algebra 2 (based on the subject list you provided) will be very useful for advanced Statistics and (even Machine Learning) classes. Subjects like linear transformations, eigenvalues and eigenvectors and orthogonal transformations is be useful indeed.However I have only recently graduated from an applied math graduate program and I don't have deep industry knowledge. So be carefull taking advice from me  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
