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?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Pretty sure that electrical engineers need to know differential equations. Other than that I'm not sure.

Pure or applied math? Either way, EE's probably need to know less math than math majors. If you majored in math and minored in physics, you should still be able to get into EE programs. Signal and image processing is done in both EE and applied math programs.
