Would like your opinion Computer Science or Mathematics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the decision to pursue a Master's degree in either pure mathematics or applied mathematics, with a focus on interests in Artificial Intelligence, particularly in areas like Evolutionary Algorithms, Neural Networks, and Fuzzy Logic for 3D simulations. The consensus leans towards a Master's in applied mathematics, as it aligns more closely with practical applications in AI, rather than the theoretical aspects emphasized in pure mathematics. This choice is seen as more beneficial for those looking to work directly in the field of AI and its applications.

I have a BS in Computer Science w/Applied Mathematics concentration. I have taken some graduate courses in CS, but I'm thinking that I should pursue a Masters in Mathematics.

I'm interested in Artificial Intelligence, specifically Evolutionary Algorithms, Neural Networks and Fuzzy Logic and applying them in 3D simulations.

So which major I should pursue?

Any comments would be greatly appreciative?

a masters in pure mathematics? that's more topology, geometry, algebra, etc.

how about a masters in applied mathematics? that sounds more like your thing.
 
Thanks! I gotcha!
 

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

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...
