I see. Thanks for responding. What about at the PhD level? Are doctorates in applied math and engineering comparable from the industry's perspective? If I'm better off getting a masters in engineering, would it be possible to pursue a PhD in applied math right after (say, if I were able to...

I'm a mechanical engineering and math double major in my last year of undergrad and planning on going to grad school next year. My question: Given that I want to work in industry/the private sector after grad school, how do masters degrees in applied mathematics stack up to masters degrees in...

Well, if your complex analysis course will be anything like an upper level math course (which it should), then I would expect it to be relatively rigorous and proof-oriented rather than computational which you might be used to in your calc and ODE (and PDE?) classes. I think that if you're not...

Was your ODE class concentrated on solution methods (integrating factors, variation of parameters, etc.) or did it have more to do with the analytical properties of ODEs (existence, uniqueness, Picard-Lindelöf Theorem, etc.), or both? Personally the first parts of real analysis have been the...
