Master in applied mathematics, MA in math, and Ms in math?

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around selecting an appropriate online master's degree in mathematics, with a focus on minimizing proof-heavy courses due to a dislike for proofs. The individual currently holds a 3.9 GPA and is considering three options: a Master in Applied Mathematics, an MA in Mathematics, and an MS in Mathematics. The goal is to teach at a community college while also gaining applicable knowledge for potential industry roles. There is uncertainty about pursuing a PhD later on and a need for recommendations on good online degree programs. The conversation also highlights the importance of clarifying career goals before choosing a specific program.

Hello guys!
I really need some help here.
I will get my BA in mathematics in two months. I want to get a master degree in math online. However, I'm not sure what should I get. Here are three programs I saw. Master in applied mathematics, MA in math, and Ms in math. I'm not quite sure what exact they are.

Although my current GPA is 3.9, but I dislike proofs very much. I want to get a master with less proof courses involved. I like applications more.

Is proof course in master in master in applied mathematics?

I want to teach community college after get my master. At the same time, if I don't teach, I want to have some solid knowledge to get into industry.

I'm not sure if I want to get phd yet, but if so, which one should I get master in?

Does anyone know good online degree program?

I appreciate your help

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...
