The discussion centers on pursuing a career related to chaos theory, with participants sharing educational paths and relevant fields of study. The scope includes academic recommendations, potential career trajectories, and connections to related mathematical and physical concepts.
Participants generally agree on the relevance of dynamical systems and PDEs to chaos theory, but there is no consensus on a singular educational path or career trajectory.
Some limitations include the lack of specific career outcomes, individual preferences for educational programs, and varying definitions of chaos theory and its applications.

I am an applied math major, so those are all math programs. I'm strongly considering going into dynamics as well. I have taken PDEs, ODEs, classical dynamics, and have signed up for my first official "dynamical systems" class next semester. This is a pretty common route.
Many physicists study non-linear dynamics as well, for what it's worth. Both of my classical dynamics books contain entire chapters on chaos.
