Programs Intersection of Physics and Applied Math?

Click For Summary
There is significant work being done at the intersection of applied mathematics and physics, with many programs offering research opportunities that blend both fields. Applied math is crucial in areas such as fluid dynamics, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics, where mathematical models are used to solve complex physical problems. It is reasonable to seek programs that focus on this interdisciplinary approach, as many universities now offer specialized tracks or research groups dedicated to mathematical physics. Examples of research at this intersection include studies in mathematical modeling of physical systems, computational physics, and the development of new mathematical techniques to address physical phenomena. Engaging with faculty who have expertise in both areas can provide valuable insights and guidance for pursuing a career that encompasses both applied mathematics and physics.

Hello all,

I am interested in both physics and applied math. One of my professors is willing to work with me to get into a great applied math school, but I don't want to abandon my passion for physics.
  • Is there work being done at the intersection of applied math and physics?
  • Is it reasonable to look for a program at the "intersection" of these two fields?
  • What might be some examples of research at the intersection of applied math and physics?
If you could add some insight about any of the questions above, or if you want to add a comment in general, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you!

Thread 'Pre-req for Ultrafast Optics? (Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics?)'

TL;DR: Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? Hi, I want to learn ultrafast optics and I am interested in condensed matter physics, ie using ultrafast optics in condensed matter systems. However, before I get onto ultrafast optics I need to improve my electrodynamics knowledge. Should I study Jackson or Zangwill for Electrodynamics? My level at the moment is Griffiths. Given my interest in ultrafast optics in condensed matter, I am not sure which book is better suited for me. If...
