I am aware these are very broad areas but I am pretty curious as to what this community thinks, my vote would go to geometry.
Hello all,
I am an engineer that is currently working through graduate school for statistics (part time while working). I always loved math and I have had the opportunity to learn more about linear algebra and it's application in statistics recently. Between semesters, I would like to read up on some more "pure" math topics. I was curious about fields such as abstract algebra, stochastic processes, and real analysis.
For someone studying statistics, what are some topics that will enhance my knowledge as a practitioner of statistics? What books should I consider? (Ideally something that can be started over the intersession break)
I think stochastic processes is an interesting, and applicable, field of math for statisticians. I don't know if something like topology has that much carryover to what I will be studying, but I am certainly interested. I thought about real analysis, but to be honest, I am slightly intimidated haha.
TL;DR: what topics should a statistics grad student read up on in the "pure math" domain for self studying?
I’m planning on coming to UNSW for uni, and I just graduated year 12. Rn im tossing up doing solar engineering or a fine degree in mathematics + engineering. For anyone who’s done this, I have a few questions. A, is it worth it, B, for the double degree can you specialise in the Engineering field and C, are you still doing the double degree or did you switch to just 1 degree
Thank you!!
I'm an undergraduate majoring in Computer Science and in this semester we had a course on Cryptography. In this course I got the chance to study the book: A Classical Introduction to Cryptography: Applications for Communications Security by Serge Vaudenay. This course has encouraged me to pursue my career in Cryptography. But I do not know much about pure mathematics as I hadn't studied it earlier in my course. Can someone provide me a roadmap or some resources from where I can start learning about pure mathematics so that it would become easier for me to do research in Cryptography.
Hey guys. Does anyone have an unredeemed code for CGP A-level Further Pure Mathematics book. Preferably the complete revision book. I will much appreciate if it's a PDF too. Thank you for your time.
Hi everyone, I'm a mechanical engineer student and I want to learn pure mathematics. I know some calculus, linear algebra, abstract algebra, number theory, and I want to learn more and deeper the math of mathematics from the beginning.
so where to begin ? And what do you think about "book of proof" is it a good start ?
I'm a high-school math student who is aspiring to enter a career in pure mathematics. When talking to people about my future occupation eventually the conversation leads to me explaining (or trying to explain) what pure math even is. My typical go to example is the Four Color Theorem since it's easy to picture mentally but the proof for it is anything but. I appreciate any and all answers as it will spare me from many awkward moments in the future!
Hi all,
Apologies if you get a lot of posts like this. Not sure where else to ask.
Basically, I started my PhD in applied mathematics about two months ago and on one hand I enjoy it, but on the other it's a lot more science and a lot less math than I was hoping for. I find myself longing to do more pure math again (like functional analysis, theory of PDEs, real analysis, ect). I
I'm not really used to the scientific thinking and I'm finding it very hard to find a scientific question that'll have actual real life impact (and which is also mathematically interesting to me).I chose to do a PhD in applied mathematics because I want what I do to have impact in a field that's important to me. However if I'm not actually able to contribute anything worthwhile ... I might as well do the maths I like more.Basically my questions are: Is it even an option to find a new PhD at this stage? Should I hold on for longer to see if I can find a question that meets my criteria?
Factors:
I have a quite a good academic background in the pure areas I'm interested in
I have no research experience in the pure areas
I have no references who work in the pure areas
My supervisor is actually very nice and it would be awkward leaving his group. I might not get lucky again.
I'm looking for help finding the right words that this document states. the ideas and connections to it we can make.
Not saying any of it is true, relevant or even useful.

How was everyone's exam? The questions were tricky but very doable, not very hard. Made quite a lot of silly mistakes but fixed them.
