    This video covers the math major including applied math vs pure math, courses you'll take, and careers you can go into. The math major in undergrad involves a lot of the same classes whether you go into applied math or pure math include Calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, proofs, abstract algebra, real analysis, and more. But you will be able to take electives in pure or applied math concepts.
    Pure math is about using math to solve problems in math. Then applied math is about using math to solve problems outside of math (such as physics, engineering, finance, chemistry, biology, etc). Many pure math students end up getting their PhD so they can work in academia on research. Overall math students can go into a variety of fields including engineering, software development, teaching, finance, and more.

      LunaticSoul first and foremost, are you familiar with the so-called horseshoe technique for insane integration?
      no but seriously, if youre still in school you can improve your math simply by doing more of it. you dont have to be a genius to get the best grades in math. that and maybe by kissing the teachers arse

    • @MrLethalShots
      @MrLethalShots 6 років тому +25

      LunaticSoul™ I’m not sure if it was obvious or not, but our comments were sarcastic. We were referencing a joke video about an alleged PhD student.
      So despite my previous comment I’m not actually doing a PhD in Maths. However, I am a Mathematical Physics student so I hope I can offer you _some_ insight.
      I’m not sure if you’re an undergraduate student like myself or if you’re still in secondary/high school. If you’re an undergrad then you’ll probably know most of what I’m going to say anyway. I’ll give my advice in a followup comment to keep it separate from this cluttered comment.

    • @MrLethalShots
      @MrLethalShots 6 років тому +44

      LunaticSoul™ This may seem obvious, but to improve you need to practice. Whenever you’re given homework in school you need to do it, to the best of you’re ability.
      Persistence is just as important as ability when it comes to Maths. If you ever get stuck, refer to your book, notes, examples taken down from class etc. Any resource you have, use it. There’ll always be an explanation of what you need to do in there somewhere. You just need to be persistent, and grind it out until you figure what you need.
      It’s also very important to actually understand what you’re doing. Don’t just memorize how to use a method. Understand (within reason obviously) how and why it works. For example, if you’re doing derivatives in calculus: what does it mean when you take the derivative of f(x)? You’e obtaining a new function, f’(x), that gives the slope of f(x) at any x co-ordinate. But what is a slope? A slope is a measure of the rate of change of a function. The bigger the slope, the bigger the rate of change etc.
      Understanding is important. If you’ve understood something, rather than just memorized the steps on how to repeat it, you’re work load drops significantly. You actually have to “learn off” a lot less.
      But more importantly, you can recognize _when_ to use that concept that you’ve understood. You can spot connections more clearly when you understand. (I lack the ability to convey this point properly. I might edit it if I can re-phrase it in a more impactful manner. It’s importance cannot be overstated.)
      When it comes to understanding, paying attention in class is also vital. It’s so much easier to learn from a teacher than it is trying to figure this stuff out for the first time at home on your own (that’s something I’ve been suffering from recently). _Never_ be afraid to ask a question, despite how ridiculous you think it might seem or how you might think others will react. If you get a better understanding out of it then it’s always worth it. If you happen to be uncomfortable with that though, then ask your teacher your questions at the end of class. You’ll usually get a better explanation then anyway.
      Another bit of advice, read ahead in your book/notes if you get the chance. Nothing too heavy now, just enough that future topics aren’t completely alien to you. It makes it a hell of a lot easier to digest a new topic for the first time when you recognize some of it already.
      Last main point when revising/practicing for exams. Speed and the ability to function under pressure are almost as important as what you actually know. You could understand every single thing in you text book, but still not hit you’re potential in an exam because you’re taking too long to put it onto paper.
      You can beat this by practice obviously. Find out what the recommended time is for a particular question/set of questions, set a timer, and try to complete it in the given time.
      I think that’s everything. I really hope it’s of some use and that you didn’t know all of this already. I’ll post a TL;DR next. Best of luck in your studies.

    A man walks onto a train and frantically starts yelling, “I’ll differentiate you! I’ll integrate you!” People get scarred and start fleeing the train. The man looks around and sees one man sitting in the corner. “Why are you still here?” He asks. “I’m not scarred of you!” The remaining man replies. He is puzzled and tries to think of why he’s not scarred. And after a short moment of silence and confusion, the remaining man says, “I’m e^x.”

    Hey guys, so I've already done a math major video on this channel but this video (and part 2) are going to replace that one! Most of the stuff from before is in this video as well but I've added way more on top of it. As I talk to more people in these majors and learn more there's always stuff I want to add to videos that will provide even more important information for you all. Sorry for any repetitiveness but hope it provides even more value. Enjoy!

    Nice video, but there's something I want to add for those who would want to do a math major: there is a huge common core between applied and pure maths, and most of the classes you spoke about will be followed by both applied and pure math students. It's really when you become senior or when you do a masters that the distinction becomes clear. TL;DR applied maths students do proofs and pure maths students do calc

      Heyyy CodedCuber, thanks for the question. What your master's is will moreso dictate your career vs your undergrad. For example, the same is true with Physics / Chem undergrad majors. Many of these people continue onto a masters in chem engineering or electrical / mechanical engineering. They have a pre-requisites, as you will most likely have all the prerequists for something like a master's in electrical engineering or computer engineers with your CS Degree.

    Great video! I am a current senior pursuing my BSc in Math and proving the square root of 2 is irrational just came to mind for my first proof class. It was definitely a challenge for me switching from the usual calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra class to a proof course. Perhaps, it was more so just approaching and looking at a particular problem in a different way. Nonetheless, being able to write QED at the end of a proof was such a great "mic-dropping" experience!

      Apart from the usual platitude that it's the relevant critical thinking and not the advanced skills that are used, it entirely depends on where you go. My first 'real' job after school (physics + maths double major) was in a bank. I basically did freshman lab reports, but instead of describing a block sliding down an incline plane or whatnot, it was stats pertaining to this or that model for clients. It (fallaciously) convinced me that "we require candidates with quantitative science/maths diploma" is corpotalk for "we could train high-schoolers to do it, but they lose interest too quickly to bother."
      Then, all cocky, I went into modelling for aviation applications and, ho boy, I could barely keep up with the level of maths coworkers casually threw around. It paralleled the same uni workshop that convinced me I didn't want to stay for PhD, and I had to resign because maintaining a serious relationship wasn't congruent with studying PDE for 2-3 hours every day after work.
      Then I started working as a software developer, and the last time I used any actual maths was to show (this doesn't warrant the word 'prove') our casework is a vector space if we look at the data from a different angle.

    This is not divisible by any of those numbers (for all primes p, remainder mod p is 1)

    Numerology and numerical analysis.
    I quickly learned that a mechanical
    approach to problem solving,
    left me, as well as my grades,
    wanting, for sure.
    Thinking ' out side the box ' will make proof solving a lot more fun.
    Super vid. Become a teacher dude
    - I remember my landlord and I
    talking in the kitchen one day.
    I said to him that I love math, but
    I suck at it. He said to me that,
    If you love math, you Don't suck at it. He is a math instructor at the
    university of Cal.
    I guess I get pissed, when I don't.get the results I am looking
    for. I feel like a failure. Dumb
    I guess.
    Weird maybe, but math gets me
    excited. Thanks for the look ahead for anyone thinking of life
    beyond the head-banging of what
    we can expect with either choosing pure or applied math. 😉

    I love my undergrad math degree. It did a lot for me spiritually. But it did very little for me economically. All it did was get my foot into the door for an accounting job, and I still ended up having to go back to school to take accounting classes anyway. The search for truth is very expensive, and it's tough to balance it with the requirements for survival. So if you can stand it, I'd recommend going the engineering or computer science route rather than the pure math route. You're better off studying pure math on your own by going to your college's library and saving yourself some money.
