Schools What type of physics can I do at grad school having done these courses?

AI Thread Summary
Pursuing a mathematics major while aiming for a career in theoretical physics raises concerns about the adequacy of the coursework for graduate school admission. The individual has completed foundational courses in ordinary and partial differential equations, differential geometry, general relativity, linear algebra, calculus, and various advanced topics in mathematics and physics. However, there is a significant emphasis on the necessity of rigorous coursework in mechanics and electromagnetism (E&M) to be competitive for theoretical astrophysics PhD programs. The consensus suggests that lacking extensive knowledge in statistical mechanics and classical field theories could hinder acceptance into such programs, indicating that a strong physics foundation is crucial for aspiring theoretical physicists.

I want to end up in theoretical physics but would rather do a maths major. I'm just starting second year undergrad at the moment. If I did a maths major, the courses I'd have under my belt would include:

ODEs/PDEs
differential geometry
general relativity
a lot of linear algebra and calculus
complex and functional analysis
computational math/physics
astrophysics
quantum
dynamics and chaos
mathematical physics (algebraic methods)
first year mechanics/e&m/optics/etc

basically the only physics I would be missing out on is statistical mechanics and classical field theories. Would a physics professor accept me into some kind of heavily mathematical/theoretical astrophysics PhD program with me not having covered those two topics extensively? Thanks for any help, really appreciate it!

I'll take a stab and say that this is wholly insufficient for grad school. You need to take the rigorous mechanics/E&M classes, especially if you'd like to be a theoretical physicist.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
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.
