Pure vs Applied Maths | MathsForUni

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.

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?

[@cpgrace1902]

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

Are you still in highschool?

[@zhangkevin6748]

@@cpgrace1902 that’s great, why discrete mathematics? Not that it wasn’t impressive but I feel like most people who does pure math are more into topology or group theory

[@cpgrace1902]

@@zhangkevin6748 a lot of the stuff I study is still very pure maths, e.g graph theory and number theory

Applied wins in my book

[@ndumisomtshali383]

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

[@tedsevilla1487]

Completely brilliant love it I can't stop watching this

[@greatloverofmusic1]

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.

[@gaulindidier5995]

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.

[@mathsforuni1628]

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

[@blitzmlcom2939]

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

[@greatloverofmusic1]

@@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.

[@aventura1266]

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)

[@whitegalactico7152]

I am weak in Math, but wanna be a Mathematician for the love of Mathsematics

[@axelnova123]

Go for applied.

What is your opinion on 3D geometry?

there is not eny math subject with no applied at least some has not yet . but wat about calclus vs abstrac

I'm studying both applied and pure 😥😓

Same here😢

Same here, plus computer science modules ( Data structures and algorithms, Information Systems , and Computer architecture) 🤕

Wow you inspire me you know so much

Applied is sooooo cool

I liked both - I was made to choose one - so I dropped both - many decades later - #ADHD (#AuDHD) diagnosis!

Which one is easier? That's all I need to know. LOL.

Applied maths is easier plus it has way better employment statistics than pure maths

[@dieselguitar1440]

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.

[@lalitasharma6687]

Pure mathematics is just too abstract too boring 😢😢

[@viniciuscilla2865]

Applied mathematics is just too real too limited

[@Manuel71]

I love abstraction though. Applied math does NOT motivate me at all.

[@dusandragovic09srb]

Math is a language used to limit you.
Leave it alone in the dark.

Pure = non-applied
