Hi everyone!

I need to start thinking about what program to choose for my M.sc (I need to apply before 1 may 2014). I'll have completed my undergrad in pure math by then, but I've no idea of what subject to go in!

Every graduate math program my school offer seem very interesting, engineering could be a great option even computer science seem very fun!

How did you choose your field? Any regret?

Thanks

You must be excited that you are finishing your undergraduate program in a year . For the undergraduate program I chose computer science I still have three years maximum to finish it ( a minor in mathematics will make the schedule busy ). So far no regrets , even though I spend lots of time reading mathematics.I think computer science is a fun subject not so complicated and beautiful .

Hi Barioth, :)

Great to hear that you are planning to do your grad studies. The way I did it was to shortlist the main fields that I like to do and apply for programs that involves those fields. Since you've got a long time to apply maybe you can search through the departmental websites and contact professors who are doing research that interests you. That way you'll have a better idea of choosing what fits you most. :)

heh yeah I'm very excited and happy, I decided to speed thing up by doing intensive summer class, it's finaly paying off hehe.

That's a good idea, I'll get to it next week thanks!
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
