Topics combining Mathematics and Aircraft

AI Thread Summary
A new forum member, majoring in Math and Mechanical Engineering, is exploring the possibility of pursuing a PhD in Math with the goal of becoming a Math professor. They express a strong interest in integrating their love for airplanes into their research. The discussion highlights fluid dynamics as a highly mathematical field that could serve as a potential research focus. A question arises about whether pursuing research in fluid dynamics would necessitate obtaining a Master's and PhD in Mechanical Engineering. This indicates a need for clarity on the interdisciplinary nature of academic qualifications related to fluid dynamics and its application in aviation.

Hello,

I'm new to this forum so please bear with me! I am a Math and Mechanical Engineering Double major who is considering getting my PhD in Math. I want to become a Math professor after I receive my PhD, and I have always had a love of airplanes, so I was wondering if there are any topics I could focus my research on that would incorporate Math and Aircraft?

Thanks!

If I were to research Fluid Dynamics, would I have to get my Masters and PhD in Mechanical Engineering?
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
