That’s part of why I’m looking at the programs I’m looking at. 🙂 I will need some economics and possibly one semester of statistics, but that’s it.

Plus, if it comes up that I get accepted someplace that wants me to take more mathy stuff than I thought, I’m secure in my knowledge that it cannot possibly be worse than the quantum physics I’m studying in math right now. By the end of this year I will either be totally and completely insane, or somewhat close to confident in an ability to handle whatever further compulsory math comes my way.
