MHB What other fields can one pursue in applied mathematics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the uncertainty faced by a recent undergraduate in Pure Mathematics who has been accepted into a Master's program but is unsure about which field to pursue, particularly due to job market concerns and student loan obligations. The individual is considering a shift to applied mathematics and seeks guidance on potential fields within this area. Suggestions from other participants include exploring optics, nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), and complex systems, emphasizing that the choice may depend on university offerings and faculty expertise. The conversation highlights the importance of aligning personal interests with marketable skills in applied mathematics to enhance job prospects.

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
