TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far...

Thank you for your response. If you don't mind me asking, what did you study as an undergrad/grad? Also, what would you recommend learning or self-studying to gain some knowledge on the field and what projects are useful to make?

Yes I know.

Hello, I posted recently asking for information on a physics PhD. I am a second-year Data Science and Physics major at Northeastern University (My school has combined majors that are like double majors but cut a few classes out of each major). As I meant to indicate in the previous post, I am...

To clarify, it's not that I don't care what field, it is more that I haven't narrowed it down enough yet. But yes I understand what you are saying, and I am still working on narrowing things down.

I meant "theoretical" research as opposed to "experimental" regardless of field.

Thank you so much for your very insightful response! You make a great point about remaining in data science, as it is very employable, and I still have the option of taking upper-level math courses such as group theory and abstract algebra. I'm currently at a point where I find out about a new...

Very interesting, the lab I work in now focuses on oncology, mainly on ovarian cancer. The PhD student I work closely with mostly creates mathematical models and simulations of treatments.

Thank you so much for your response! If you don't mind me asking, have you done a PhD, and if so, what have you worked on?

I understand what you are saying. I am only a second year, so I am not completely set on anything yet. It's more that so many fields interest me, and I need to narrow down which one I like best.

Hello, I am a second-year Data Science and Physics major at Northeastern University (My school has combined majors that are like double majors but cut a few classes out of each major). I am also considering switching to Math and Physics (I've linked the requirements for each major if it's...
