Well i am into designing of low - cost products right now, and am confused what sort of specialization should i undertake which helps me in designing new and innovative products. For ex. i have developed a low cost method for domestic cylinder users a way through which they can get the amount of gas remaining in a cylinder.
 

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
