The discussion revolves around the possibility of a Physics graduate pursuing a post-graduate degree in Mathematics, particularly in the context of limited availability for traditional college attendance. Participants explore options for correspondence courses and resources for transitioning into mathematics.
Participants generally agree that transitioning from Physics to Mathematics is possible, but there is no consensus on the best approach or specific programs available for distance learning.
The discussion does not address specific prerequisites or the potential challenges of transitioning between disciplines, nor does it clarify the availability of correspondence courses in detail.
Individuals with a background in Physics considering further studies in Mathematics, especially those seeking flexible learning options due to job commitments.
Quote from Steven Krantz's A Mathematician's Survival Guide: "It helps to be a math major, but that is not essential. Physics majors, and other majors also go to graduate school in mathematics."knownot said:
I am a Physics Grad. But now I am interested in getting a post-grad degree in Mathematics.Is it at all possible ? 'cos my job does not let me attend college.I wish there was a correspondence course.Any advice?
