What electives will make me more employable as a math undergrad? [closed]
$begingroup$
My three year math degree includes 30 subjects, 20 mandatory, 9 electives and a thesis. Here are the mandatory subjects:
Algebra I - Matrix Calculus
Algebra II – Linear Algebra
Analysis I – Foundations of Analysis
Analysis II – Infinitesimal Calculus
Discrete Mathematics II – Combinatorics
Mathematical Practicum I
Computer Practicum
Computer Science I - Java programming
Discrete Mathematics I – Set Theory
Mathematical Topics in English I
Algebra III – Abstract Algebra
Analysis III – Functions of Many Variables
Physics
Introduction to Numerical Calculations
Computer Science II - Functional Languages
Probability
Mathematical Topics in English II
Algebra IV - Algebraic Structures
Analysis IV - Real Analysis
Mathematical Modelling
Statistics
These are obligatory, apart from this I can choose 9 electives, related to either mathematics, computer science or economy and finance.
Here is the list of subjects I could choose as electives:
Algebraic Graph Theory
Differential Equations
Functional Analysis
Combinatorics
Geometry
Optimization Methods
Permutation Groups
Graph Theory
Measure Theory
Topology
Financing the Health System
Selected Topics in Discrete Mathematics
Selected Topics in Computing Methods and Applications
Selected Topics in Statistics
Complex Analysis
Cryptography and Computer Safety
Mathematical Methods in Physics
Mathematics: Methods and Art
Molecular Modelling
Optimization Methods in Logistics
Solving Equations: from al-Khwarizmi to Galois
Seminar - Introduction to Research Work
Symmetric Codes
Coding Theory
Number Theory
History and Philosophy of Mathematics
Theoretical Computer Science II – Formal Languages and Computability
Systems I – Hardware
Systems II – Operating Systems and Computer Networks
Data Structures and Algorithms
Programming III – Concurrent Programming
Systems III – Information Systems
Introduction to Database Systems
Computer Networks
Theoretical Computer Science III – Information Theory
Software Engineering
Information Technology Management
Augmented Reality
Database Design
Game Development
Geographic Information Systems
Human–Computer Interaction
Introduction to Machine Learning and Data Mining
Language Technologies
Multimedia Design
Selected Topics in Programming Languages
System Programming
Microeconomics
Macroeconomics
Finance
Financial Mathematics
Game Theory
Econometrics
Stochastic Processes I
Fundamentals of Insurance
Modelling in Macroeconomics
Financial Topics in English
I want to plan out what kind of subjects I'm going to take because I think it's important to have a well rounded set of subjects, not just a bunch of stuff all over the place. What subjects would you recommend? What subjects would make me more employable? And don't worry about me taking subjects I enjoy, I'll surely curate your suggestions and take some less useful stuff just for my pleasure, but if we're talking about the pure employability boost, what do you suggest? Thank you in advance :D

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.

Hello! This question will likely get closed as off-topic or moved to a different stack-exchange since this one is supposed to be for math questions only. However, as an employer, and this may be industry-dependent, I would say we don't look at specific courses taken very often. Maintaining a GPA is much more important. Doing a project you can show off helps, too.
