Which of these classes would best complement a career in chemical engineering?

Other than the standard calculus + diff. eq. curriculum.

Linear Algebra

Partial Diff. Eq.

Stochastic Processes

Analysis (Real, Complex, Numerical)

Combinatorics

Differential Geometry

Dynamics/Bifurcations

Linear Programming

(Algebraic) Topology

Graph Theory

etc.

Or should I take classes in some other subject?

I've asked a variation of this question before but only got 1 answer. =(

Update:

I was planning on double majoring in chem. eng. and applied math.

    Well, a lot of those could potentially help. Partial diff eq wouldn't hurt, I don't see much application for linear algebra, topology, or geometry type classes.

    I am an electrical engineer though so I am just guessing based on what I would think you would use the most.

    You most likely can get something from all of them. Why not major in chemical engineering with a minor in mathematics.

    Stochastic Processes - no question

    Source(s): I'm a Thermo Engineer The others would be good if you were going for a minor in math or general engineering.

    choose stochastic and linear programming

    Your adviser would know better than any of us. Just go and ask him/her instead, and you'll get a much better answer.
