Can you go to math grad school and study applied math that focuses on physics. And also study regular math?

cragar said:ok thanks for your reply. I was wondering if they have schools where you study relativity or quantum mechanics from a math point of view. I am also looking for math grad schools on Google that fit this, just wondering if you knew of anything.
The specific requirements for admission vary depending on the program and university, but generally, you will need a strong undergraduate background in mathematics and a high GPA. Most programs also require the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) and letters of recommendation.
The length of a math graduate program can vary, but on average, a master's program takes 2-3 years and a doctoral program takes 4-6 years. This can also depend on whether the program is full-time or part-time and if you have any previous credits that can be applied towards the degree.
A master's degree in math typically focuses on coursework and may include a thesis or final project. A doctoral degree, on the other hand, involves more independent research and the completion of a dissertation. It is also a more advanced and specialized degree, often leading to careers in academia or industry research.
Many universities offer funding opportunities for graduate students, such as teaching or research assistantships, scholarships, and fellowships. It is important to research the specific program and university to see what funding options are available and what the application process entails.
A math graduate degree can lead to a variety of career paths, including academia, research, data analysis, finance, and engineering. It can also provide a strong foundation for further study in fields such as computer science, statistics, or economics.
