Cryptography would be a great topic if you want to wave around some number theory and abstract algebra! You'd probably have to choose one cryptosystem if you want to go into the math in any depth, but it's all tons of fun. I don't know how much you know already, but "An Introduction to...

As far as I understand, most people working in data science are mathematicians. But maybe I only know the mathematicians and there's a place for people in other areas. I have half a toe in some data science-y stuff, though, and have had to teach myself a lot that wasn't covered in an undergrad...

That's a lot of material if you consider yourself behind to begin with, but with all the material available online and elsewhere there's no reason not to try self study. Those courses in particular are pretty straightforward, in the sense that you'll basically have to learn and practice a list...

I'm finishing a B.S. in math and have been getting a bit more into physics lately. I'm on track for a second major in either physics or Russian, but not super concerned about finishing - I'm applying to grad programs in pure math. I'm particularly interested in algebraic geometry, combinatorics...
