Hi everyone! This is a video discussing the difference between 'Pure' maths and 'Applied' maths at University.
Many students go into university with pre-conceptions about what kind of mathematics they prefer. This can be potentially damaging to their mathematical career (especially if they've committed to a degree in just one or the other).
This video explains how pre-university mathematics flows into university, in different ways than you might expect.

Pure mathematics interests me far more, solely due to the incredibly abstract nature of it

I'd go for Applied Math. As an engineer, I'm more interested in where I can apply tools NOW and solve a problem NOW so to speak

Applied math: How can we make calculations errors, but guarantee a certain extent of accuracy? Pure math: given many imaginary objects, what can we say about their structures and can we relate them to invent an even more complicated object with additional structure?

That's an archaic definition as number theory and abstract algebra are used in Computer science which is basically applied in codes, encryptions and so on.

Agreed! This video is only intended to provide a quick overview, and many of the observations are generalizations.

Which is Is better applied mathematics or pure mathematics as a double major of computer science, engineering and accounting?

@greatloverofmusic1 3 жыл бұрын

@@blitzmlcom2939 The short answer is it depends. I'll just speak to the C.S. & Engineering side of the ledger (see what I did there). I think for the most part it would applied, but if you're thinking about earning a PhD & doing serious research then a solid foundation of pure math would be helpful. Cheers.

They say all math is applied, but applied math is for historical reasons known as such to refer to calculus and similar type of math (speaking as a non-math major)

Applied wins in my book

@greatloverofmusic1 3 жыл бұрын

A student would do well to attempt an abstract type of course early on: such as Linear Algebra, Discrete Math w/proofs or a Introduction to Proofs course. On the other side, a student taking a Calculus based Physics class will give she or he a good idea of how math works 'in the real world'. Good Luck & Cheers.

I don't understand what you're saying. Do you mean that mathematics is the only additional course that you are taking? In that case, pure math would be the best option, and you may even want to add computer science in university, but if your passion is for applied math, I'm sure you could take any missing prerequisite courses later on.
