I just got in the University of Michigan. I already had an interview earlier so my result was bound to come before the mid-February deadline that's typical. Anyway, one down, lots to go.

My school is quite small, and there are other courses that incorporate segments of probability. That said, I made up my mind. I'll take Probability ... looking forward to proving the Central Limit Theorem.

Yeah, I've never been into cryptography that much, but I do enjoy other aspects of algorithms as well as programming languages, AI, etc. Are there certain fields of computer science where probability is definitely more useful than number theory in general (as well as fields other than cryptology where number theory is more useful)? I would imagine AI falls in this category.

Hi everyone, I'm a sophomore now and need to decide on classes for the fall of my junior year. I have two math classes that I'm very interested in, number theory and probability. For logistical reasons, I can only take one of those classes, which will be used to fulfill my math major. But my other major is computer science, and I am hoping to go to graduate school in computer science. I don't know what field I want to specialize in, though, so I'm just wondering which of these math classes is most useful for computer science graduate school? Both are of the same rigor, and won't be offered in my senior year.
