*Considering a math minor. I have thoughts in my head, and I need a better vocabulary in order to describe them! Sub-areas if I start considering this more seriously

I don't know about the math program there in particular, but I can probably discuss the classes to some extent with you if you'd like other input than professors.
I'm not exactly sure what I want to take, or what the names of the concepts I want to learn about are. (This is why I want to take more math classes.)
I just see these relationships in class, and then all we do is talk about methods from getting from Problem One to Solution One, which is all pretty neat and all, but there are computers to do that sort of thing, and we spend very little time on why a particular method works.
We were going over the forward-Euler method in Diff EQ, and there was just this "click" when I saw where the formula was going. It was beautiful, and then my prof started talking about orders of accuracy and I wanted to be all "YES! LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS, THIS IS VERY INTERESTING
