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!
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
I am currently in the second (and final) year of my MS in Physics. I've just started my research, which focuses on identifying Dark Matter through Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) extensions. My supervisor has directed me to learn model building using FeynRules and subsequent calculations via MadGraph or other simulators. I've successfully built models for QED and QCD, and I am now working on Weak Interactions, Electroweak theory, and symmetry breaking. My immediate goal for the next few...
