well i wasnt planning on taking graduate courses as my extra math courses. i was either going to take some applied math courses to expose myself to them or take stats courses to double major. so I am still not sure.
I am an undergraduate pursuing a double major in mathematics and statistics. I am planning to go to graduate school to get a phd in mathematics. Well i got to thinking and i was wondering if double majoring is the right decision or if i should just major in math and minor in stats. If i double...
MAS 4213 Number Theory: Topics to be discussed are selected from the following: congruences, Diophantine equations, distribution of primes, primitive roots, quadratic reciprocity, and classical theorems of number theory. Prerequisite is Calc 2
MAS 4301 Algebraic Structures: An introduction...
is number theory necessary if I am already going to be taking algebraic structures?
and is it safe to say that if i like numerical analysis then i would like mathematical modeling?
well i have taken calc 1,2,3, linear algebra, and diff eq.
my junior year will be:
fall- intro to adv math
math stats 1
*course from math list*
spring- adv calc
algebraic structures
*course from math list*
senior year
fall- *course from math list*
*course...
well i sort of did a backwards route and decided first which classes i thought were unnecessary (which I am not sure about). i figured no math major takes college geometry unless their majoring in math education. i didnt think the logic classes (mathematical logic and axiomatic set theory) sound...
so what your saying is if after taking the classes if i prefer advanced differential equations, numerical analysis, and mathematical statistics i should go for applied and if i prefer advanced calculus, abstract algebra, and complex analysis i should go for pure?
Well my school doesn't offer the choice between pure or applied mathematics, so I am simply majoring in mathematics. I don't really know which i would want to go into (pure or applied) because they both seem to have their pros and cons.
