    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Oh, also add Berkeley to the list. :) I love the campus and the history of the school too.

    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...

    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...

    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...
