Hello, I am currently in my final year at a California State University majoring in Mathematics (Applied track) and minoring in computer science. I've begun lurking forums such as the physics to figure out what sort of programs I am qualified to apply for, and what be good opportunities as well as available funding.
Here is some of my academic background:
GPA: 3.79
Math GPA: 3.92
GRE - 159 Q / 150 V / ?? A (Took it two days ago, I don't do standardized tests well)
Significant courses taken:
Calculus I-IV - B, A, A, A, respectively.
Ordinary Differential Equations - A
Linear Algebra - A
Sets & Logic (First Proof-based course) - A
Complex Variables - A
Intro to Real Analysis - A
Numerical Analysis - A
Programming Fundamentals (C/C++) - A
Data Structures & Algorithms (C/C++) - A
Discrete Structures - A
Computer Networks - A
Left to take: Into to PDEs, Probability Theory, Abstract Algebra I, Intro to Real Analysis II (Measure Theory), and possibly a Mathematical Modeling course, Advanced Linear Algebra Course, and/or more computer science courses.
Undergraduate Research:
Participated in a NSF-funded REU this summer where I worked on Mathematical Modeling involving Fluid Dynamics (Solved large PDEs using Mathematica and Perturbation methods). Also currently doing a reading course involving Pseudorandom Sequences with a professor at my university and eventually going to have a project to work on and finish hopefully by the end of my last year.
I have started a list of schools, but not sure where I can apply in terms of ranked schools, given my not-so stellar (but not bad) GRE scores. Not entirely sure what I would like to research, but the computational side of Applied Math I don't mind. Any recommendations?
