What other fields can one pursue in applied mathematics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the various fields available in applied mathematics for students transitioning from pure mathematics. Key areas mentioned include actuarial mathematics, optics, nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), and complex systems. The choice of specialization largely depends on university offerings and faculty expertise. Students are encouraged to explore these fields to enhance their employability post-graduation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Pure Mathematics concepts
  • Familiarity with Actuarial Mathematics principles
  • Basic knowledge of Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs)
  • Insight into Complex Systems theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research career opportunities in Actuarial Mathematics
  • Explore advanced topics in Nonlinear PDEs
  • Investigate applications of Optics in technology and engineering
  • Study the fundamentals of Complex Systems and their real-world implications
USEFUL FOR

Students in mathematics, particularly those transitioning from pure to applied mathematics, and individuals seeking career guidance in mathematical fields.

Hi everyone!

I'm kind of lost lately... I finish my undergrad in Pure mathematic last semester. I got accepted for master in mathematic. But I don't know what field to choose.. I'm afraid I won't be getting any job after (and sadly with my student loan, I kind of need a job hehe).

I was thinking maybe going in applied mathematic, but what field of applied mathematic can one choose? I know of actuarial mathematic... What are the other applied mathematic field?

Thanks

Optics, nonlinear PDEs, complex systems, etc. it depends on what is offered at your university and the interest of the professors
