AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on selecting a master's program in mathematics, with a focus on various fields such as geometry, topology, functional theory and analysis, algebra and number theory, and applied mathematics. The individual expresses a desire to use mathematics in practical, real-life situations, indicating a preference for applied mathematics due to its relevance in modeling complex problems. There is a suggestion that students typically should not rush into choosing a specific major until later in their academic journey, as personal interests and strengths often become clearer over time. The individual also mentions enjoying differential equations and complex analysis during their undergraduate studies, which aligns with their inclination toward applied mathematics. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of aligning personal interests with academic choices in mathematics.

hi,
i will consult master programme ,there are a few fields of math in the university which i can study.This fields are geometry,topology,functional theory and analysis,algebra and number theory and the last one applied mathematics.
Actually i don't know exactly what do this fields deal with or what can be done in this fields so i want to ask you which one should i prefer?which one is more popular in today's world ?

thanks...

I don't know where you live or where you are contemplating attending college but most colleges that I know discourage choosing a major before the second year in college (you may probably have an idea as to whether you want to go into a science or humanities or business before then but shouldn't make a decision as to what specific major until then). I would not expect a person to decide which specific field of mathematics to go into until late in a math major or in Graduate School.
 
What were your favourite math classes and material when you were an undergrad? Some more info about yourself would help with an answer.
 
i would like to use math in daily life ,i would like to model the problems in life with mathematic i mean i want to use math efficiently in daily life of course i don't mean addition,sustraction... i mean when i encountered with a complicated problem i might solve it ,actually i think i feel myself near to applied math more than other fields but as i said at first post i don't know exactly what do this fields of math deal with? i don't even know that things above i mentioned is related with applied math or not

in addition to i liked differential equations and complex analysis at undergraduate

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
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...
