I will be entering my fourth and final year of study for my BS in Applied Math with a minor in Physics, and I have been looking into graduate programs to apply to. In my searches, I have come across a few programs that are interdisciplinary degrees between Math and Earth Sciences that looked...

This is completely true. What has happened to you has happened to most math undergrads, if not the the same degree. Most students, upon first being subjected to proof based math, will see a severe drop in their grades until they get the hang of it. You will have to learn to think in a completely...

I too am looking to apply to Applied Math grad programs, so I can't offer too much advice, but I'll try. From what I've seen, most programs will require that you take the Math GRE, which covers topics such as real/complex analysis, statistics, combinatorics, abstract algebra, topology, etc., on...

At this point in my undergraduate experience, I have found my courses in ODE/PDE, physics, and computing to be the most satisfying, and so I am looking for programs that either have strong offerings in things like numerical PDE, perturbation methods, and mathematical physics, or programs that...

Thanks for the ideas. I've been continuing my search and have come up with a few more that seem interesting, unfortunately some are still very competitive: MIT - Applied Mathematics Boston University - Applied Mathematics Stony Brook - Computational Applied Mathematics Stony Brook -...

Well, from my experience with Number Theory, that class will probably take up a lot of time, not because the concepts are hard, but because you may not have ever had to think the way you will have to in order to answer the problems. Unless you have had a course like Real Analysis, or some other...

Applied Mathematics I (grad) Abstract Algebra Electromagnetism I Introductory Astronomy and Astrophysics Senior Seminar (project in Fluid Mechanics in preparation for project in MHD in the Spring) I'm looking forward to it!

Here goes: Complex Variables - A Numerical Analysis - A Number Theory - A- Introduction to PDEs - A Intro to Modern Physics - A I would like to point out thought that my Numerical Analysis was a joke, and I barely had to do any work for it. A friend and I are planning on discussing how...

I am currently in the process of finding schools and programs that I would like to apply to for graduate studies, and I thought I'd ask around here for some advice. Quick explanation of what I'm interested in: I am currently an undergrad applied math major with a minor in physics at a large...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone with more experience than I could give some advice about choosing a topic for my undergrad thesis. I'm currently a Junior in an Applied Math program, and I am interested in going to graduate school for a Ph.D after I complete my undergrad. I am aware...
