What Aspect(s) of Math Do You Find Beautiful?
For me it's simple. Using topology to prove the fundamental theorem of algebra. Now that's beautiful.- donnylee

Just study Math AND CompSci (well) and get ready to rule the world
Hello fellow Physics Forums attendees. I am not here to argue which is the best major to undertake in school. Instead, I am here to attempt to establish, or at least hear what others think about, the much said expression that people who major in both Math and CompSci can do anything. Me...- donnylee

Programs 3.47 GPA am I screwed for Stanford Math PhD?
Good evening to all the kind people who have replied to my post. I thank you for your feedback and appreciate your thoughtfulness in advising me what to do. I have read, and reread, everyone sentence, analyzed it, and have reached this final state. I stand corrected. My all-in fall semester is...- donnylee

Programs 3.47 GPA am I screwed for Stanford Math PhD?
Hello twofish-quant. Thanks for your contribution to my dilemma. My answer to your more relevant question "who would I do after college?" is simple; and that is to go into the field which you yourself is in. The most desired (but NOT only) career path for me is Quantitative finance / developer...- donnylee

Programs 3.47 GPA am I screwed for Stanford Math PhD?
Oh and sorry to mention that my Probability and Stochastic Calculus was very different. It was Stochastic Calculus from a analysis point of view, about (65% measure theory and 35% application), so a B and A respectively is mildly reasonable. And certainly one graduate level course doesn't cover...- donnylee

Programs 3.47 GPA am I screwed for Stanford Math PhD?
Hello snipez90, Thank you for your kind reply. Some of your opinions did add value to my consideration as to what I will be doing next. It does seem that my profile and path of admission is rather random base on the courses I have listed. You did get half of that correct. Let me quickly...- donnylee

Programs 3.47 GPA am I screwed for Stanford Math PhD?
Thanks for your reply. I am indeed applying to be admitted in a program which begins in the fall after my junior year. I mean to indicate the fact that I have to submit my application by the end of fall; the deadline is usually end of the year to be admitted in the program next fall, hence I...- donnylee

Programs 3.47 GPA am I screwed for Stanford Math PhD?
I am aware of the other schools which for the sake of argument, let's explicitly label them as Stanford, Caltech, UChicago, NYU, Columbia and UPenn. I know that in search for a graduate school, the specific advisor may carry more weight than the school, however I seek brand name and advisor. I...- donnylee

Programs 3.47 GPA am I screwed for Stanford Math PhD?
Dear Physics Forums, I am a math major who just finished my sophomore year at a USNews top 10 school. As the title says it, I have a (sad) 3.47 gpa with my math gpa just about the same. Over the last few weeks, I have been considering my career path and yes, going to graduate school for math...- donnylee

Differential Geometry - useful in engineering?
Dear fellow Mathematicians and Physicists, As the fall term closes and spring term starting next year, I am deciding on which math class to take. Simply put, I'm a math major (possibly engineering if there are enough slots in my schedule), more applied, seeking to apply math concepts to...- donnylee
