A PhD in Electrical Engineering (EE) requires a solid understanding of mathematics, particularly differential equations, but typically involves less mathematical depth than a pure mathematics degree. Candidates with a major in mathematics and a minor in physics have a strong chance of being accepted into master's programs in EE. Both signal and image processing are relevant topics in both EE and applied mathematics, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of these fields.
PREREQUISITESProspective electrical engineers, mathematics majors considering a shift to engineering, and students interested in the interdisciplinary applications of mathematics and physics in engineering fields.
kramer733 said:How much knowledge in math would a phd in electrical engineering know? Would it be less than a person who specialized in math a degree or more? If i wanted to be an electrical engineer, but i wanted to specialize in math and minor in physics, what are my chances of getting into a masters program for electrical engineering?
